NEW projector from INDIA

[pollok]

Maks,
I bought this tv thinking like that. But alas! even 4:3 format pics are being pulled edge to edge! 16:9 pics are pulled even further - i.e the horizantal pics are shortened from their original size! Usually there will be a control in the menu to adjust this. This one doesn't have that. The pic is very sharp coz the panel is a JVC original and the circuit has the Hitachi stamp. Even then...!

sorry, i meant 'shortened from their original height'

Please note that this pic was shot during the day. Though the windows were closed, the curtains were open and the daylight was coming through the glass panes.

Thanks for your reply. where did you get the lenses from??

 

[Maks0001]

Hello ilango_slk,

I got the lens from Lensel Optics, Pune, India.
One of my Co-DIYer (maestro) arranged it for me.

 

[ilango_slk]

Nice to hear that we can get those localy in India. LL lenses are good but the shipping and duty kills everything. How much did you pay for it??

maestro, can I have a set too if possible. I will be in India next Jan and I can collect it locally.

 

[ilango_slk]

Sorry forgot to mention the following...
1. Iam an Indian living/Working in Srilanka
2. I have Benq 15" LCD for the proj

I can't even find page magnifiers here in colombo

 

[Maks0001]

I have Benq 15" LCD for the proj

Hey ilango_slk.... your PJ's gonna be a real bulge with that 15" LCD, beside that you might have to use a powerful light source. Try to get a smaller screen, buddy..!!!

btw, the set of lenses cost me INR. 3000/- all inclusive.

I understand that Marks, Iam disigning it to be a part of shelf of some sort, so no issues about the size. The LCD has a broken black light so I whould better use it than going for a new lcd. What was the focal length and diameter of the triplet??? Any way of contacting the pune supplier for the items???

 

[Maks0001]

Well, you can search for lensel optics on the net. They have a website.

The Triplet is 50mm focul length, and maybe, 75 - 75 mm barell diameter.

 

[Maks0001]

Oops..!!! I meant, 70 -75 mm barell diameter

 

[ilango_slk]

You obj lens has a focal length of 50mm and your Fresnel 2 has a focal length of 330mm ??? I thought both the Fresnel and Obj lenses focal lenght must be close to get good projection !!!!
