We put up a 10' x 10' white vinyl tarp on the front of a huge cube made of galvanized pipe and connectors, and while HD it ain't, it's plenty bright and clear for watching movies or programs from 15 feet away. Not good for powerpoint presentations out there, but we shlepped our TiVo outdoors and enjoyed a lot of programming. We even hooked up our Mac to it and showed vacation slides. Fun toy for the price!

Glad I read the whole article rather than be fooled. It would be fine with the Wii though. The games don't look that spectacular anyway so you aren't missing out on much.
