is this good for a DIY projector?

I wouldn't know about that. All I know is it was very disappointing, and I do not believe it has 3X magnification. At most, 2X.

I am not that technical to imagine how you would use it unless you were making it smaller....but then as I said, I am not that technical to be able to build a projector. The magnifier is made of some type of plastic but isn't very flexible which I think would be a good idea for a projector.

Not sure what model projector I have (not at home), but this worked perfectly with mine. Keep in mind that this is converting an analog signal into a digital one, so there will be some minor quality degradation but all in all it works in converting VGA to HDMI (no sound of course).

This is just a screen for you to shoot your projector on to. It's also not that great as I returned it. The 80 Epson tripod one I have is perfect.

No. You get what you pay for. Look into the Aser H5360 - this is the best projector for the money and can be used for many purposes. I've used it for presentations, and watched 3D movies at home on it (3D requires Optima 3DXL converter.)

No way! This is not a very good projector! Blurry. I was very disappointed in this product.

I feel very confident this would suit your needs if your projector composite/rca (red, white, yellow) connectors. Bear in mind this is not hi-resolution so it may get grainy if you intend to project the image any larger than a few feet.

I wouldnt recommend this projector. It came broken and missing cords and I sent it back and got another one still broken but with cords. Id recommend spending the extra money and getting one from best buy or somewhere like that.

You'll have to place some supports on the corners for that to work. That is the setup I have right now, without the supports the projector would wobble since that surface isn't flat. Not to mention that the buttons would be pressed unexpectedly.

Absolutely! This is the most inexpensive HD projector you can get. It works fine. I projected onto a 110 in. screen. The image is flawless. The only "downside" of the projector is that you can't move the image left or right without moving the projector, which is only an issue if you are thinking of installing the projector to the side of the screen. Most people have their projector installed in the middle of room and directly onto the screen. Also this the top HD projector recommended by the Consumer Reports.Also I got mine for $850.

I found that this projector was very much brighter than others I have used. I didn't try it in a well lit classroom, so I can't say for sure about your situation but if you have a good reflective screen I think it should be good. At least it is the best I have seen.

I suspect it will work fine. The projector is not too heavy and if properly centered on the bracket at the center of gravity it will be fine. It will be important to keep the cables and power cord properly stabilized so that they don't pull on the projector. I tied all the cables with cable ties and then fastened the bundle to the nearest wall so that it cannot be pulled from below. Minor movements can easily be adjusted with the remote to recenter the image on a screen. Make sure to connect all the types of cables you might ever use (HDMI, component, VGA etc.) so that you don't ever need to deal with it until you replace the bulb, thousands of hours down the road. I used mine on the lower level and got almost 4500 hours on the first bulb. I did use a shorter mounting bracket but think the longer one should be fine.

The short answer is no - but I don't that that is viable with this item. It is glass with an opaque back, and there is glare from ambient light, so it's not likely a projector would be workable.

I've used it to project some Youtube videos and also play a DVD from my laptop DVD player. It isn't perfect for showing movies because it isn't the brighest of projectors and it doesn't keep up with fast motion as in an action movie. I'd say that it is good enough to show a video clip or play a movie but it isn't going to be top quality home theater video. If the room is fairly dark it would probably look OK.

It's not a bad unit for its price range. I had it hooked up to a projector and it worked very well. The features and functions on this unit were above average in my opinion.

Yes. I tried it but you need to try it out with your projector first. Mine worked with certain projectors only.

I think so but I honestly don't know. I haven't used it for that and am not very tech savvy :) I would check by googling it. I LOVE the projector though!
