Behold! The Optoma GameTime (GT720) DLP Projector:
51 inches of HD? Try 300 inches! Spladow!
The thing is truly a monster, I have not ordered it yet, but I soon shall. In the back is an HDMI input, S-Video, VGA, Component, a headphone jack, and some other input mean for older computers as well as 10 watt speakers built into it. I would use this to project videogames from either of my three systems, blu ray or standard DVD movies, and as a 70-80 inch monitor for my laptop straight onto my wall. In order to not have to deal with all the hassle of connecting and reconnecting wires, I'll have to upgrade my receiver.
The receiver I have right now is a Yamaha receiver straight from the 80s, perhaps the late 70s. It was handed down from my parents along with a turntable from the 1980s as well. It was probably top-of-the-line back in its time, but now it's probably considered Father Time in this present day. What I'm looking at right now is from a deal on newegg.com for a receiver whose standard price is $600, but with a code it goes down to $329! What a steal! I have to jump on this deal and quickly!
The receiver in question Yamaha (RX V765):
We all look the same from the front anyway.
As you can see, that's a lot of holes. It's not as complicated as it looks really. Four HDMI inputs go into it and the very first HDMI port goes straight to the projector. That means the PS3, XBox 360 and Laptop can go in and I still have an extra port! The Wii would use a standard component in and the receiver sends a standard video out. Hook up some speakers and that's that.
To have my laptop that far, I should think of getting myself a wireless mouse and keyboard, if they were Bluetooth enabled, that would be even better! This way, I don't sit so damned close to the laptop's monitor at about a foot and a half away!
Projector: $749.99
Receiver: $329.99
Keyboard/Mouse: $39.99
Total: $1,119.97 (Give or take...)
Wow, that is one hell of an investment! Party time at my place!
