Myself and a couple of the guys at work had the opportunity recently to use a couple of those Monitor projection screens in the conference room at work the other day. We set up a PC with our wheels, at either end of the room and projected the image onto the walls. The screens were ***y huge!! It felt like being at an IMAX theatre. Wall to Wall GPL. You actually started to get motion sickness......he he loved it. We plugged one of the computers into the conference room sound system, and Boom the noise knocked you off your chair. Like playing GPL at the picture theatre!! Well we got access to the room on a Friday night at 6:00pm and left Saturday morning at 11:00am, totally exhausted mind you. SO if you get the chance to try out this type of equipment I thoroughly recommended it...but beware you may go blind!

I was carrying out some work in a cinema last year and the manager told me he had run Gran Turismo on the Playstation through the projector system, with the audio through the Dolby sound system. "Awesome" was the word he used to describe it !! Unfortunately I didn't get to try it :( -- Ian Parker UKGPL League [link lost in import] --
heh....just to get you guys a little bit jealous.......... I took a room in my house, threw everything out except for a PC, a wheel and a HiFi with 4 Speakers, all coupled with a beamer, now I drive GPL on a 15ft Screen :))........*everyday*! Only compromise is a 640x480 resolution. cya on track *very big* Markus

That sounds really weird. Fun, but weird. So the car's, what, 20 ft long?
640x480 on a 15ft screen? so the pixels are about a square inch then right?
