I have been looking around, mainly because apples said he wanted a new tv and this got me wanting one aswell but i cruised around a little and found this.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HD-1080P-LCD-Projector-HDMI-Component-S-VIDEO-TVVGA_W0QQitemZ200373403169QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2ea72f7e21&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Personally i think thats a pretty nice deal seeing as there are other with 10x that price but whats diffrent from that and the others?

Also monitor or projector?

GO!

What's different is that it's from a Chinese supplier. My uncle bought a GPS system from Honk Kong on ebay for like 50-100$. Sure it functions but it seems like its 30 years old technology compared to what I bought my Dad for $200 from here.

You get what you pay for.

Completely agree. I'm living in china, and all the stuff here is really cheap (thank you GEC) but really shit quality.

I would say monitor over projector. I've had a projector and they're a real hassle to maintain. After a year or so the lamp starts getting old and damaged and it affects the colors, and they cost a fortune to buy and replace. Plus, they overheat often and that can be a big problem, because it can melt the wiring in the lamp.

So, get the monitor.
