The link to tvspecialists.com in the references section is broken, but I cannot locate an editable section that contains said link. The updated link is http://www.tvspecialists.com/corporate/guide_proj.php -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Garrick.linn (talk • contribs) 21:59, 20 June 2006.

OK thanks - fixed now. In the wikiformat version of the article the link appears inside a <ref> tag near where the [2] superscript appears towards the top of the article. -- Solipsist 21:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That link seems to have disappeared, but if anyone wants it, it's at http://web.archive.org/web/20061230162905/http://tvspecialists.com/corporate/guide_proj.php 2001:8003:A946:6000:99F9:CE18:F5D8:AF13 (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DIY projector

I believe you should note in the article that you can build a video projector yourself (DIY). It seems that more and more people are doing this because it's cheaper, and for fun. More info:

data projector

would be the correct term considering the breadth of signals devices handle.

Lamps

Projector lamps are often very expensive, U$ 200-500. Why? Exactly what are the details of design? Can they somehow be replaced cheaper? -69.87.199.199 (talk) 22:13, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

History of video projectors

We should probably have a section in the article on the history of video projectors such as when the first video projector was invented, the evolution of the tech (Eidophor oil-film projectors to CRT to LCD to DLP and LED and Laser and so forth. Unless I am mistaken, the Eidophor oil-film projectors where the first video projectors though not suitable for home use. The "Advent VideoBeam 1000" CRT-based projector was the first video projector on the market available for use in the home or other smaller venues. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 06:55, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Link excluded from the Wayback Machine

I just fixed a link in the DIY projectors section, but I couldn't archive the current URL because it's excluded from the Wayback Machine... I'm not sure if it's better to leave it without an archive link, or to add the original link that was archived back in 2010 (which didn't seem to save any of the pictures in the article). I've gone with the latter for now. 2001:8003:A946:6000:99F9:CE18:F5D8:AF13 (talk) 14:43, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
