Default Home made projector problem

Hello All,

I made a home made projector and below is my approch:

I bought a
90mm magnifying glass which costs 1USD in India,
Cardboard box
and a Laptop 699USD

Now what I did is I fixed Magnifying glass in Cardboard Box and placed
my laptop inside the box.

Thats it!!!

Now the problems I faced and solutions i made:
1. PROB:The projection was inverted
SOL: I downloaded a media player named vidmx which can play movie
inverted so that I can get correct projection

Now the problems I faced and DONT have solution:
1. The projected movie is blur from left and right side/edge.
PLEASE help me how can i correct this.

Looking forward to get a solution soon because I cant live without
watching movie on this projector and want to rectify this as soon as
possible.

Please HELP

Thanks in advance

Regards
Saurabh Periwal

I think for $699 you could have bought a good used projector or maybe a new
cheap one.Rick
