There was once a boy named Derrrick who liked dragons much, and he had dragon posters all over his bedroom. Then, one night he thought he saw something flying outside of his bedroom, so he entered the bedroom of his parents and said to his parents, “Parents, I am afraid off a beast that is outside my window with wings.” His parents were bad parents, and so they said, “We don’t care about you, Derrrick! Go back to your sleep room and don’t make us bothered again!” So Derrrick did just that! He never made them bothered again because when they checked on him in the morning, they found that he was gone eaten by a dragon.
“Oh no!” Said Derrrick’s mother, because she had always secrecy loved him a lot because he was her only son and she was a great mom. For morning, she decided to spent the night in his room, and she also got eaten by a dragon also! The next night his father slept in his room because he was sad too now because his wife had been died by a dragon, and he got dragon eaten too.
Now, every week on the days of the time the dragon ate Derrrick’s family, the dragon comes back to eat another family. This ISN’T FAKE! If you don’t repost this into the comments section of any Woot sale in the next ten minutes it’ll be your family that gets the eaten by a dragon!
Ok, I just placed an order for this because I let it pass last time. Can anyone suggest a decently priced projector?
I agree. I’ve never owned a projector, so if I buy this, how much am I investing in a solid projector?
From what I remember, it was suggested you get a sound bar as well (which i have from a previous woot off) and I’m hing some can enlighten me on a decent projector.
Previous woot has too many (96) comments to copy over, start there (and I think it was $139.99 like tonight):

and here’s where they did a wootplus that included some projectors (and there were some comments then):

and hopefully others will come around and make recommendations.
I bought this after I purchased the BenQ projector, the soundbar, and a wifi 3D capable blu-ray player. All of them work just fine. No issues. I read the reviews for all of the items I bought on Amazon and Google, no issues. So I would suggest you do the same, check on Amazon, visit some tech savy websites or stores and just do a little research, but for the quicker route Amazon. Hope this helps
I use this screen from Amazon (paid $179.99 last year) and a projector I bought from woot (Optoma HD 1080p Home Theater Projector, paid $649.99). It works great!! I use a portable PA unit like the Pyle systems they sell on woot for the sound. It is used primarily for a non-profit to show movies. I did have to buy a gadget for my portable bluray player to split hdmi to component video and L&R audio for it work since the project didn’t have audio out. It does have to be nearly dark to start the movie, but isn’t that part of the fun?!

I got this during the last appearance on Woot, and used it for the first time last night. It worked great, and it is easy to clean.
As a word of warning: DO NOT leave it set up when you are not using it. I set mine up a day ahead of time, to let the heat during the day get out all of the wrinkles. It worked, but it attracts bird droppings better then even the most freshly washed car. It want out more than 10 hours before it had the largest bird dropping I had ever seen, on a horizontal surface, none the less. It wasn’t even on the black layer on the back side, that blocks out stray light. It was smack dab in the middle of the screen—all 15 square inches of it.
Anyway, as I mentioned it is easy to clean, and it works great. The screen is a heavy duty canvas and the frame is thick steel. The whole thing holds up well to a pressurized nozzle on a garden hose.
I hope the At the Drive-In reference was intentional. One of my favorite bands.
Anyway, does anyone know of a super cheap projector? I’m not looking for anything fancy, just something to get the job done.
I just wooted one of these earlier tonight - great price, terrific reviews in amazon: sturdy and bright.
the grayish colored screen helps improve contrast in less darker environment -
but woot what we now want you do is put for sale the cordless popcorn maker / video projector combo machine that you show in one of the photos for this product…
considering this is a front-projection only screen (the back is black) that’s the only place in the photo where that wonderfully fake picture could be coming from… such a great idea and bright picture… cordless too!!
Got a projector from eBay for 150. Sanyo Plc-xu84. In for 1.

So, why buy this instead of hanging a sheet?
It depends on what you want from your projector. Woot has several listed today in the $700 range for 1080p.
You can also get an LG “smart” LED projector with WiFi for about that price. It’s only 720p, but it is super portable and has an up to 30,000 hour lamp life, compared to the 2-6,000 hour lamp life on non-LED models. If you want to project movies in your back yard, the WiFi and portability are probably your best bet there. It’s listed here: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG---Smart-WXGA-DLP-Projector/8589114.p?id=1218879457632&skuId=8589114 but I picked one up at a local Best Buy for $100 off.
If you don’t have a lot of space and you want to project from your living room table, BenQ has some short throw projectors that look really good and will literally fill that screen from a distance of five feet or less. Their 1080p projectors are in the $1000 range, but if you’re fine with 720p, you can get one for as low as $500 if you shop around. Does 3D, too.
And then there’s a whole 'nother set of things to look for if you don’t have a really dark area to project. The LG LED projector does great for that, and there are a few other projectors that are fine for that lighting situation.
In short: it depends, but you can get an enjoyable, decent projector for under $1000. If the bulb is not LED, expect it to go out within two years, but by then you’ll have another set of even better projectors.
Woot, can’t you please block the stupid “Warning, this is real…there once was a boy named Derrick” post? Your site is cluttered enough already
