I was consider this but it have negative points too, its not all goodies.

- Its freaking expensive, you need three projectors to do and they are not cheaper precisely, cheaper projector is around 800$.

- To use a projector you need a dark room, so prepare your self to get Vampire complex.

- Its power hungry as hell, a single projector consume around 350W, you should multiply this x3 and sum a PC that can handle this huge resolution.

- The resolution is not great, if you stretch 800p in a 30" screen then you will have a blurry image quality.

Also a cheaper projectors affects to image quality, it will show low contrast and colors quality, a good one projector that shown the contrast and colors of a usual screen will cost you 1500$.


Burn the money in a 30" ISP monitor with Touch Screen is a more balance choice but well ... who buy a Ferrary don´t do it thinking in the money, consume, visibility, ....

The projectors suitable for this are $400 to $1500 depending on of you want full 3d support and super bright image. (which might actually be too bright at minimum throw distance) The cheaper projectors are capable of 500Lumens now which is heaps at .5 of a meter. Not only this but the rear projection Plexiglas is designed for use in ambient light. Even without an enclosure!

If you read properly you would see that Im proposing using these in portrait mode which is 800 wide by 1280 high per projector which is enough vertical resolution for the seating distance for an image this big.

I also have plenty of computer horse power to drive it. (which by the way draws upto 2.5Kw so power usage is nothing new to me!)

Rear projection with plexiglass was what I was consider , a curved plexiglass screen would be awesome

Also I was thinking in combine it with this :

A curved plexiglass screen would be awesome but with a touch surface would be incredible
