I havent bought a projection panel on ebay in over a year but I still often look around just to see what happening, I remember someone paying 500+ for a sharp 2500 and Proxima ovation 810 822 etc going for the 150-200 mark. It seems now though that penny pinching has occured and things are not selling for as much, I suspect though after people get their taxes back( you late filers LOL) the prices will go up again. anyone else think this or have a opinion?

Definately. I just bought my QA 1500 for 200 dollars (including shipping)...yeah, ouch. Although from what I hear is that prices as a whole are going up, so you could almost consider it an investment...I'm not even sure if the QA 1500 is all that good of a panel; I've heard conflicting reports on it's contrast ratio.

I've though about that too. I remeber back in november when I first really got into diy, and i was checking out projeciton panel, nview viewframe spectra c panels were going for at much a $200! My first panel i bought back then was an nview viewframe spectra plus i think i paid about $140 for. Just about a month ago i recived my nview spectra c i paid $50 for 🙂 ! Now the average price for a spectra c is around $130. I think know diyers are finding that projection panels are not enough, and selling them to buy bigger and better lcd monitors (at least that what i did). I'm Always keeping tabs on projection panels, even have updates from ebay emaild to me 🙂 . I would kill to know what the price of a sharp QA-2500 was before people foudn out what it could be used for 🙄 .

You guys were lucky to come across this wisdom of cheap projection madness 🙁

I on the other hand found out about all this just recently (One month ago). And what makes it even harder is that I live in Sweden so it's KIND OF hard buying panels from Ebay. 😱

Anyway, projection panels are almost impossible to find here in Sweden and if you do find them the prices will most likely be high up there. For example, I actually found a Infocus Proview 820 the other day in mint condition sold here in sweden by some unknown company. Guess what they wanted for it.....700 freaking dollars! :bawling:

So I think I will have to buy a Nec1550v instead, because they only cost 380dollars here :scratch:

So you the guys who are sitting there, holding their Spectra C panel wich they think suck and stuff, think again! :devilr:

Note: As in all other posts I make, I am very sorry for the lame grammar wich I put in this forum :dead:

Well yeah but the last 2 guys I asked who was willing to ship international said that the shipping to Sweden would cost me about 100-150 dollars, and I just don't have the money for that right now 🙂

Oh my god, I actually found another company wich had 2 different projection panels for me at a resonably fair price. Although they are not sure about the 2 panels specifications and stuff :scratch:

They had one Davis Transview Multicolour 24 panel and let me tell you, I have never heard about this one. They said some company in Norway used to make them 🙂

But they had another one too, and this one I have heard of. The Nview frame spectra. It was from 1990 had no composite or s-video input, only vga.

But I can only find information on these:

nView Viewframe Spectra C
nView Viewframe Spectra Pro

And when I asked him again if it was "C" or "Pro" version he said that the name was only "Nview frame spectra", nothing more, nothing less.. :scratch:

Anyone care to help me out? 😕

I need some information so I can buy one of these panels and play Zelda Wind waker on BIGSCREEN!, so come on guys help me out here! :nod:

You have the same prob as I, living in scandinavia 🙁
Can't find anything, atleast cheap.

Hehe I forgot to say thank you for that link you gave me.

Thank you! 🙂

I have seen some nice results with the benQ lcds but I was under the impression that they didn't display as much colors as the NEC ones...or am I just out walking blind on the railroad track? :scratch:

I think I found the same model on ebay here. It says it does 640*480 and has 256colors. 🙁

256colors....

Nope that is just TOO low for my taste :dodgy:

Damnit, again I have only one hope left. And that is the davis panel wich I have found NO information at all on. 🙁

Hehe, I hate my bad luck. 🙄
