There are tons of bloggers who've done a DIY projector from above, or LCD TV mounted below. The interesting part is the touch-screen component that allows you to manipulate the screen using the screen.Raging Owlbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556804177905125874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-21796296021731391692014-07-02T09:36:37.506-04:002014-07-02T09:36:37.506-04:00Wouldn't it be cheaper to get an HD projector,...Wouldn't it be cheaper to get an HD projector, mount it above your gaming table and hook it in to a PC or tablet?

They are cheap up to about 22 inches. Beyond that size, the overlays get expensive quickly. I'm not certain how they will pull off touch capability on a large monitor at their target price. The wholesale price of the overlay kit may be somewhat cheaper.<br />Raging Owlbearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556804177905125874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1724254580047847936.post-55682484611374399872014-07-02T08:45:19.382-04:002014-07-02T08:45:19.382-04:00Any really big tablet could do this with the right...Any really big tablet could do this with the right software.
