Thread: Big Scream TV question

Tweet

Do any of you know if the image on the screen will apear bigger on the pice of plastic or plexi glass it is reflected on? Or will it be the size that it is on the TV? Could you change the size by using a bigger pice of plastic or plexi glass or changing the angle?

are you using a CRT television? or a video projector?

If you are using a video projector, when you increase the distance between the plexiglass (Screen) and the projector you increase the image size.

We used to do this with CRT monitors on the flight simulators I used to build, but we would use a collimated mirror to increase the size of the image - probably not a option for you, as collimated mirrors are very expensive.

Mirror Collimation

angle of the mirror or plexiglass doesn't affect size, but can warp the image. Stick to 90 and 45 degree angles and it will save you head aches.
