Anyone using a projector in their cab as the display?

I was thinking about doing the same thing once my tube goes. I can fit a 27" display but depth wise it will stick out my cab. I spent some time on the internet and found companies that sell the screens for rear projection.

There is a guy on here that used a projector for a marquee.

Bender:

isn't what your talking about basically a rear projection TV?
wouldn't that work you?

Well you could go cheap and use one of these http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=6015380

I saw something like this going cheaper elsewhere on the net, but you can rear mount it and use a screen of linen for the front and you can get some decent image from it.

I would try it but as others have mentioned, that a LCD would suffice in this situation.  :D

I read some comments about that projector which said its resolution was 320x240.
