Thread: Eyeclops Projector-has anyone tried this?

Tweet

On QVC today (Christmas in July) they were showing an Eyeclps Projector that you could hook to any DVD player, IPod or TV. It would project an image up to 70 inches on a wall, ceiling or garage door, etc., for about $95.

They said it's not really high resolution and works better the darker it is, but I don't think that would matter. I was thinking about projecting Scream TV or Thriller on the garage door or in the backyard where it's a little darker for my partry.

Has anyone tried this?

You know, for 99.00, you could probably get at least a decent flying ghosts up out of the grave, ala Disney Haunted Mansion...hard to say how it performs, but seems similar to many of the other LED "Pico" projectors out there...

Well, I just bought one, so I'll let you know how it is. I'm sure it'll be fine for Halloween use, but if not, I'll give it to my little cousin as a toy.

Okay, I just got it in the mail today, and I must admit...it is perfect for Halloween use. Like they said, it's not HD, but it looks good for $100. It has a focus knob, to adjust the focus depending on how far away from the wall the projector is, is completely silent since its LED, and you can plug in your own speakers (as long as they are self powered[have a plug]), but the speaker built into the projector sounds pretty good...just not loud enough for my use.

Can you post a picture of this? I'm having a hard time visualizing what this is.

Thanks, niteride, I'm thinkin' I'll have to get one. I have a wall on my shed in the backyard that is just screaming for a good old horror movie to be played as my guests go to visit the "Burnt Guy" back there.

Skulkin, Your burnt guy looks pretty good.

Just remember, for the best picture, it has to be almost pitch black outside, and the further away the projector is (the bigger the picture), the less bright it will get.

Thanks, niteride. I appreciate the tips. It's pretty dark back there by the shed, better than in the front where there's a pesky street light. My friend has offered to use his manlift to block off the light, but we haven't ever done it yet.

this sounds like a great idea and the price is reasonable. Will have to think about how I can fit it in my haunt this year
