I haven't had much luck with projectors so far. I bought a Pioneer video projector that I though was a front projector, but I was wrong. It was part of a video wall and the lenses were fixed focus for a 42" picture. Without the mounting frame and screen it was useless.

I've worked on a couple of rear projection sets the most recent being a HD capable 46" Philips. I replaced the convergance IC that was shorted and got it working again, but I couldn't get the focus and covergance good enough to produce a picture I'd be happy with.

I've passed on a couple of old front projection sets with curved screens. If I had the room I'd probably have grabbed them for novelty value, but even in perfect condition I doubt I could use one for regular viewing.
