Has anyone played LFS or any other games on a projector screen for a home computer before?

My dream when I buy a house this year is to set up a dedicated gaming room and I'd love to have a projector for my computer. I'm curious what experiences people have had with them. When I was at university all the classrooms had them and they were HUGE. I sat there dreaming of LFS and got caught daydreaming a few times when teacher's called on me

Only once, Played a game of Pro Evo 5 on my PC using a projector at the ATC Lan party last year. Looked sweet. worth it completely

The problem with very large screens is the image appears greatly distorted if you're sitting even remotely close to it. Also, if you're playing a twitch game like your typical FPS, it takes a long time to move your eyes from one part of the screen to another, but it can make spotting and aiming people at a distance much easier, provided the resolution is sufficient.

ive played a few FPS games on a projector, and also GT4.. it takes a while to get used to it.. but with some games it can help, others its more of a hinderance..

Played on a projector and a v.large plasma screen, both were a bit of a let down with games TBH.

Dan,

Crimson Skies on a projector - Damn good fun with Crimson skies over LAN!

Played a PS2 on a projector quite a bit, the results were better than I was expecting. Burnout Revenge split screen is great fun on one
