Another great buy on ebay... or so i think. Today i just picked up an nview (graphX?) z projection panel... 69.00. Im not sure about the model number (z115, z350 etc), but I know it is at least 640 X 480 and 1.4 million colors. I know you guys have all seen these before, so what i really want to know is it good buy or not? It's only the panel being sold by the way.

Good buy?
No
Great buy?
Yes!
I sure wish that more US "ebayers" would ship internationally and use other shipping methods that doesn't cost 100-150dollars!! 🙄
Great job man! 😎

I don't buy on ebay and here why. Wanted to place a bid on a projection lens the other day.. 1h left, 0 bid, 1$ no reserve
Shipped, would cost me something like 20$ total
so 35$ CND!!! for a 1$ US bid!! no way!

Dude, he's charging $20 shipping for a reason
The guy obviously doesn't want to let the lens go for $1
The reason it was only at $1 was probably because of that same reason.
If he started the bid higher less people would look at it.
The trick is to scout out the auctions with cheap shipping. Few people seem to realize it but thats where the real deals lie.

Hey verbose, yes either way its a good deal or a GREAT deal, However unless you have th epS for this Its hard to come buy, and it dosent use anything that can be made from a Computer PS( that I can recall anyway) hopefully you will get it to work. Have fun
Thanks for the feedback guys, i feel slightly better about my purchase now 🙂 . I found out it is a z115, which is not a bad panel for the money... All i have to do now is retrofit a powersupply and make a cable... Fun...

Judging from some pics i've seen of mine, and of the z255, it has a regular power jac on it. The z355 on the otherhand has a crazy looking power slot.
So you think it just has the usual barrell jack? Humm dunno I have never seen the panels up close I thought they had a 5 pin din plug but different from proximas, who knows hopefully your right and its a easy find, that would be sweetness.
Edit BTW hows the nec and plexi case coming along, why did you get the panel, just another one for the house? LOL its a addiction I tell you like crack only not as messy or nasty. LOL

Yup... Well if you look real close at the picture, you can see the little diograpm that says the ceter pin is positive, and the out ring is negitive on the barral jack 🙂 . I just noticed that.
I found a place who ar selling one used MINT condition Polaroid Polaview 3000. But the remote was broken so he said that without the remote, I couldn't use s-video or RCA. Is there SOME other way to use these inputs without the remote?!
Anyway, this panel seems to have some resonable specs:
640*480 (Anyone know if it can do 800*600 compressed?)
16,7M colors
VGA/NTSC/PAL/SECAM/SVID/RCA
One more question. Does anyone even have this panel? I want to know what response time it has because I want to be able to play games on this thing to. 😎
Thank you

To answer my post above, he wanted 300$ for the Polaroid Polaview 3000 but I actually got it down to 165$.
So, should I buy it? Or should I try to get something for a better price?

Damnit I forgot one thing.
Can anyone tell me what the response time on this thing is??
I REALLY need to know.

How dare you thread jack my thread? Lol... just kidding... Thats the point of this thread is to post good deals. What are the specs on that thing?
Give us details! how come it's so good? and what'd you use to get it running if it didn't come with cables?
Sorry, I though you guys new about the z115. The thing has a great looking image, 640x480 100:1 contrast, 1.4 million colors. The image looks great! It has tones of features like a speaker, and an audio loop through so you can input your audio/video rca cables to your panel and output the sound to computer speakers. It has a curtain feature to make the panel turn any color you want when not watching a video. The thing was easy to jump start, i use a think pad power supply that is 12 volts 3 amps... I use this one for testing all my nview panels.

Gah...you're so lucky. I spent half my weekend looking up auctions to get a panel and came out unsuccessful...and here you get two awesome ones super cheap. I do remember looking at that second one, though, and I passed it up because it doesn't have any cables. I hate how that happens...the best deals don't have this or that cable, and I don't know where else to find them so I have to skip over it. 

hey, any chance you would be willing to sell one of those panels? is you have one with rca input that you want to sell you would be able to make a tasty profit off of me.
I was going to put it on ebay and see what the sharks do, but make me an offer a cant refuse and i may go for it...
