Has anyone out there had any experiance with the
"Tele-Kit" Projection TV? I recently recieved an add from
them, and if they are as good as they seem I may buy one of
these things. (I don't think I could resist -- a projection
TV for under about $700.)
From what I can see they have a good idea -- they use a
12 or 13 inch TV and project that image onto a 45 or 60 inch
screen. The basic kit is $400, and you have to provide a
TV to go along with it, but they claim any 12/13 inch TV
will work. They also seem to have been around a while, the
literature they sent includes a letter that was published in
the Aug. 1980 Popular Mechanics.
But I have some questions.
1) The basic question. Are they as good as they seem?
I'm skeptical about anything I can't go look at.
2) What is involved in building a cabinet for the
thing? And is this, (as I am assuming) the only thing not
provided with the basic kit?
3) Do they compare reasonably with the projection TV's
you buy at your local TV store, or am I going to want
better in a couple of years?
Thanks in advance...
Sean.
