You've guppy kidding me.

I don't understand the resemblance everyone is hinting at. Wall-E looks completely different. It has arms and such.

My thought is on camping trips to set it up in my Scion xB facing the rear hatch, with the rear hatch open I can drape a sheet over the hole, then connect a Wii to both the projector and my car's sound system and proceed to play Wii with friends on a rear projection screen in the middle of no where.

WOOT STAFF:

This is undoubtedly a Quality Post. If anything, this person should be given a 5 quality post bonus for being so awesome.

No. Absolutely no. And as a school district tech support person I cringe at the thought. Lots of reasons.

1. It's not technology approved for use in your classroom by your district.
   
2. It's resolution is LOWER than even those old Averkey's you can check out from your library and hookup to an old TV -- and when's the last time you saw anyone use one of those?
   
3. It's so dim that you'll need to run it in your supply closet -- not in the classroom where you have fluorescent lights and windows that can't be covered with blackout curtains.
   
4. Your building/district tech support people may be too polite to say it to your face, but they will laugh and make snide comments behind your back.
   
5. Did you notice that it has 320x240 resolution and no way to hook up a computer?
   
6. See number 1.
   

All that said, my youngest has a short "loft" bed and I'm probably in for one for use at night in a dark room for a 20"-30" or so image from an old DVD player.

What's with all this district approval nonsense? In the School District of Philadelphia we use whatever the hell we can get our hands on. If the district isn't going to give me anything, they I'll use what I want.

Haha, laughed so hard I almost coughed up a (muskel)lung(e)

I bought one of these off kids woot like a month ago. I got it and tried it out but it kept turning on and off so I called Jakks Pacific and they said to send it in for a replacement so at least they stand behind their product.
From what I could tell picture quality was marginal but for 30 bucks it seemed well worth it. When I get my working one back I'm thinking about modding the bulb to see if I can get some extra brightness out of it... otherwise if you want to see a picture at any reasonable distance from your projection surface the room has to be literally pitch black.

Hey! The EyeClops Mini Projector really does look a lot like Wall-E, doesn’t it

Wall-E? I don't see it.

Hey! The Wall-E really does look as lot like the EyeClops Mini Projector, doesn't it?

Only if you are showing a J-Lo movie

[quote postid="4279377" user="sdc100]
As far as I know, there has never been a mass marketed standalone device to convert RF to composite A/V. At least not this century./quote]

it's called a vcr. Any old one from a garage sale for $3 will work. the vcr has an RF input on the back, and even ones from the 80's have composite outputs.

rvang1 wrote:Thanks Backwash

That thing will almost definitely NOT work. There's not any "cheap" way to convert VGA to Composite like this projector needs. Unless your laptop has a TV out, you're stuck paying more for a converter than you did for the projector.

Once your order has been shipped, woot will create a tracking bot. They will email you the tracking number, and you can also view it by looking at your recent purchases under "my account." They usually ship with FEDEX Smartpost

Mine shipped from Irving Texas via FEDEX on the 16th. Suppose to be in town on the 18th.

D**n! Order it Wednesday at 09:07, arrived Friday at 08:53! It takes me longer to get pizza delivered!

Cool idea. I have Wall-E i mean Eye clops, maybe if you do this, than i buy Scion xD.

Mine arrived today, tried it out with my Atari 2600:

Space Invaders


Berzerk


and a game I wrote, Medieval Mayhem - an updated version of Warlords, complete with arcade elements of dragon and multiple fireballs that were missing from the original home version. (YouTube video of it).



Hard to take photos of the projected image. It's quite bit brighter in person, though it's fairly fuzzy even after adjusting the focus. It's quite useable though. I also tried hooking my iPhone up to it, and while watchable the colors were off. Skin tones tended to pick up the other predominate colors in the scene.

got mine today and it seems to be broken. sound will come out but lamps doesn't put out any light

Costner wrote:Hey! The EyeClops Mini Projector really does look a lot like Wall-E, doesn’t it?

Mine didn't work at all no light.

I just checked mine - if there's no video signal the light does not come on.

DOA any one else?

or you could enjoy the outdoors, and NOT bring the wii. If you want to play it STAY HOME!

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. It does not work. No light. No nothing but a sad little hum. Has anyone had one that works?
Should I ask for another one, or count my losses and get a refund?

totalharmonymusic wrote:Mine didn't work at all no light.

The light won't come on until you give it a video signal. Try hooking it up and making sure you have signal before you call it DOA.

Got mine today!

This has to be the worst projector ever! I love it!

It's exactly what I expected (horrible) so I'm satisfied.

Now to figure out what to do with it.

Also received mine DOA today. Sent Woot an email, hopefully they will resolve this quick. This was supposed to be a Christmas present and I don't have time to shop for anything else now for this person.

Also, I had mine plugged into a VCR for testing to answer the question "Was it plugged into an audio/video source?"

Got this thing tonight,I love it.It works great,I wish I would have got more.Im sorry most of you have received them broke.Todays my lucky day......

Got this today. I'm not exactly sure what people are expecting for $25 but this far exceeds my expectations. This is a Christmas gift for my 10 year old son. After reading some people complaining about it arriving DOA I got a little worried, pulled it out of the box at the risk of not being able to repackage it for wrapping, and hooked it up to a Roku box. The quality was fine projected onto the ceiling from about 3 feet above the ground. My son will love it. Thanks Woot.
