Sure it’s cheap and not even close to a real DLP/LCD Projector, but it works surprisingly well. For example, Win-AMP Visualizations look amazing blown up to 12’. Regular SD TV and Cartoons look great. Basically any video source with a strong input signal works best.

I only wish I had this kind of toy when I was growing up… would be been so cool.

Take a look for yourself at some example photos taken of the Torpedo Projector in use.

For $100-150 it’s more than I would have expected. It may have been reviewed as a “complete joke”, but the photos should speak for themselves.

*Multiple photos taken with both lights on/off for comparison
*NTSC color bar and gray scale ramp test
*Images captured with a Canon G2 on a Tripod with a 1sec shutter.

Not bad for only $149! Overall impressive that a 35W bulb can output so much light in a darkened room.
