300e screen shots

Hi...

I've got a page with some screenshots of my new 300e...

http://jimtreats.crosswinds.net/MyTreats/Projector/

Its using a £20 blackout blind from ikea, 2m across... toy story shots were just held up with double sided sticky tape.. I'll be needed a new one as i've damaged it already... but its still a remarkably good picture (not seen others mind, but for the money it can't be beat)...

Cool! But....

Where are the halo shots? surely you've got an xbox?

jimbobuk · 09-04-2003, 4:30 AM

yep... does Halo do widescreen!?!?

Many more shots will come when i do them.. getting them out sharp takes some doing...

Why would you want GT3 or GTA3 when you've got halo?

Very nice

It would be great if you could post some Halo shots

Also how much was the pj if you don't mind me asking
Cheers

Nice screen shots...

Looking good!

How have you got your Game Cube connected. I've got the official RGB cable but need to split out audio to the amp. If you have a lead that does this, where did you get it from and how much?

Tried Halo for the first time last night. Oh yes! This is how it should be played.......Shame I've got a PAL XBox with no progressive...will have to look into that

I use a scart box to split down to the one lead into my projector.. this handily has an audio out.. which was one of the main reasons why i got it...

I've got all 3 of the next gen consoles... the PS2 has component outputs but i dunno if this is progressive, i doubt it... seeing as I've got scart all the way to the projector i dont think i'll be bothering with it... progressive of those games would be nice but it'll do... RGB looks quite good.... I really needed the 4:3 for Zelda.. all the reading in 16:9 was actually a bit of a pain...

I have the 300e from Nexnix... go to their page to see how much it is (about £1450 before VAT i think)... my camera is definately doing some general trickery to change the way it looks... so take these pictures as a pinch of salt.... i am happy with the quality but its not as vibrant, and the contrast is definately NOT as good... its still very nice though ..

more shots online tonight hopefully.. i'll get some halo shots on... i got dead or alive volleyball too

doubt it has a widescreen mode

linked my ptae300 upto a dreamcast (havent got a next gen console yet) and it looked pretty good via RGB scart, havent got a VGA cable - anyone tried this? Pity not many dreamcast games have widescreen mode, it still has some superb games though (virtua tennis, soul calibur, crazy taxi) so I wont be getting rid - especially as the pj has given it a new lease of life.

What really looked stunning was my PC (Athlon 2ghz, radeon 8500 graphics card) running Medal of Honour, sharp as a pin, DVD looked pretty cool too on PC. I've still to play around with resolutions fully but PC via vga definitely offers a superior DVD image to my Sony DVD player via RGB scart (no component unfortunately).

I'll post some pics when I get time.....

A few more shots are on that page... its a really difficult thing trying to capture focused images of the thing... i'm getting about a 10% success rate... it also appears that either dust or dead pixels are adding some annoying pixels to my camera grabs... I've spotted this before.. should of got it exchanged..
