    I would connect it to the Living room PC. Just imagine playing System Shock 2 and watching Babylon 5 on the "big screen".

    I would use it for both PC and PS3 gaming. And probably the rare chance of some Wii and Nintendo NES gaming aswell.

    Have to say i am curious what the expected lifetime of the bulb is though. Most projectors have somewhere between 1500 and 3000 hours per bulb, and thats usually in econemy mode.
    Doubt many games would be run in that mode, and it would probably be on for several hours every day.

    I would hook up both PC and PS3 if I won this. Try out some blu-rays with it as well.

    Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of DLP projectors for fast moving content as I'm too susceptible to the rainbow effect generated. Instead I've got a long throw Epson 3200 generating me a 60 inch screen from 3.5m away for PC and Xbox One gaming.

    But with a short throw, I might be tempted to use it with a Board Gaming System, e.g. http://projection-mapping.org/dungeons-dragons-projection-mapping/

    I'd primarily use it for pc gaming and watching tv/movies from the comfort of bed and just occasionally I might turn the old xbox on for some retro fun.

    Ahhh, just sold my gaming rig.

    Still have a massive Wii and PS3 backlog to get through, so those two I guess
