I think this is one of the 'white van' projectors. The website is a single page, and not a single relevant spec is given really. MOst of these sets will downscale 1080p to 800 X 600.

It is one of the white van PJs. A guy brought one in today wanting a $350 loan on it and the screen. You can tell by the box it's a scam PJ. I looked it up anyway and couldn't find any legitimate dealers selling them. I told the guy what the deal was on it. He seemed genuinely surprised, so I guess he was a white van victim, not a scammer. I felt bad for him when I told him I couldn't do anything on it.

The same resolution as the 1.5" LCD panel that's actually in there, that they screwed up when the copy/pasted from the Taiwanese junk web site where the scammers buy their sh*t. 
Just google a little... White van scam all the way.
Even some of the logos are obvious rip-offs.

It always amazes me what people buy when they are just barely toeing the line making ends meet...

I get approached quite often with the 'Heywannabuyahometheatersystem?' One of these day's I'll have to stop and look instead of firing off a quick "Fcuk you scammer" to them.

Last year a Dallas Cowboy player tried to pawn one of these. He's a young guy, the best victims for these scams.
