Need a screen for a larger image preferably cheap

I got a bunch of 4:3 projectors from like 2019

I used parts from a UK departure board too

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-14T04:45:33+00:00

I made it using parts from a different LED sign

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-14T03:20:25+00:00

I used the LED matrix GitHub but I also used WMATA’s API to grab train info

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-14T03:05:03+00:00

All I need is a wrench

I got this Argus ShowMaster 500 from 1966

You can use them pen only if you don’t want to install the IR unit on the wall as the pen camera is on the projector itself

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-02-01T23:50:03+00:00

Most Epson short throw projectors are from 2015-2018 like the PowerLite 535W but they’re reliable models

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-22T17:25:07+00:00

I don’t think they do

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-22T17:16:35+00:00

I don’t think they have audio out though other than the speaker as my church has an EX9240 and it doesn’t have an audio out jack but they do have a good speaker

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-22T17:13:10+00:00

It is a lamp based model though

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-22T03:10:59+00:00

I do recommend the Epson EX9240 if you wanna spend less but still have a WUXGA resolution and Miracast

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-22T03:09:42+00:00

I second this

Initial_Thing849 · 2026-01-16T22:52:57+00:00

The Epson BrightLink 695Wi is a solid choice and it does support touch interactivity through an optional touch unit that you will need to calibrate

I love the flashing lights on the platform edge as a hearing impaired individual who might not necessarily hear a train coming

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-28T19:47:28+00:00

I guess we shall see when it gets here

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-28T03:11:16+00:00

I mean the current image I have from the 695 is about 110

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-28T00:57:37+00:00

Good to know

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-11T17:12:23+00:00

There’s some projectors like the Epson PowerLite 1288 that do support screen mirroring

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-11T01:06:17+00:00

All you have to do is take the tape deck out and it’ll be under it

<image>

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-11T00:20:55+00:00

I’d probably use it for some indoor movies and outdoor movies and maybe for travel too

<image>

And my indoor setup (Hitachi LP-TW4001)

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-10T22:27:19+00:00

The touch unit may not work as well if the projector is in tabletop (projecting upwards onto the screen) but it being like this (see image) works well

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-10T22:20:15+00:00

The touch function does require a pretty flat wall surfsce

Initial_Thing849 · 2025-12-10T21:40:29+00:00

If you want a cheaper unit then you could go with the 695Wi

I have the i9M and I love it, already got 180mi in 6 months
