Cheap way to get a 130" screen.....

The projectors are in native 640x480, but this is entirely watchable once interpolated to a higher res even though it's obviously not as good as getting a HD one.
I've had a Dell I bought for business purposes years ago which is native 800x600 and I never considered using it for watching movies when i firt got it because it was too "cheap" at $1000 (3 years ago i think?). One day I was testing something and put a movie on and holy shit, If it wasn't entirely watchable... I was sort of annoyed I listened to all the wanker audio/videophiles about needing a 3-5k projector before you'd bother. I've used it ever since... works a treat.. got a 2.5m screen . I don't think I would have got a 5x better experience buying a purpose made 5k one... maybe 1.5x so not really worth it.
I don't have a normal tv any more. I only watch movies and particularly good tv series on this.
