[simpits-tech] Projectors

[Mike Williams]

another solution are big sreen HDTV's w/ VGA input, mine is 53" and runs
800x600, looks sweet too, they also make them w/ higher resolutions, also,
look into the new flat screen HDTV's some are 2-3" thick, Bestbuy had one on
display, very nice

Dave,
Get aprojector w/native XGA 1020x768. It's more than twice as clear as
800x600.  Makes landings better and easier. I got a real nice 70x70 2.5 gain
screen and my 800x600 is very grainy. Just my 2cents worth.
Rob
