Hack your RPTV to double the screen size

by Ben Drawbaugh Sep 30th 2008 @ 7:44PM

Although we seldom find anything relative to HD on Hack A Day, we love to read about all the cool projects. But today is different as someone has devised a way to take a rear projection HDTV and buy a bigger screen for it. Although we question if this is any better/cheaper than just buying a projector, this might me a good way to go if you want to reuse your old HDTV. But aside from the questionable practicality, and possible loss in brightness from this hack, it's pretty cool -- and well documented.
