Here in Holland the lilliput is sold for 159,90 euro. Thats cheap and you don't pay extra tax for importing it!

look for the topic on european shops, you will find the shop there!!!!!!!

That one doesn't have vga input and it only has 480 x 235 resolution.

I live in Europe and I'll be in china in april,
is it worth for buying Lilliput 7" 619GL-70NP (XGA)
for DIY projection?
Is resolution and response time enough?
Is it easy to strip?

Please post if you have any good or bad feedpack.

It costs €210 in Europe.

hi @ all,

yes, it is safe for diy. i've built one beamer w that lilli 7" vga.
pics to be seen here: http://web102.sun-15.de/forum/phpBB2...?p=32146#32146

and it is easy to strip. i did it like the german "how-to" pdf.
but ace3000_1 is right. do not bend that little ribbon flat cable as shown in the a.m. "how-to". i broke it at my first trial.
keep an eye on it and take care that you are always grounded while handling due to electrical discharging.

where to buy?
german diy-community forum members have a special price. 219 Euro (approx. 260 bucks). follow this link. http://www.cartft.com/shop/catalog/item/?wm_item_id=315

Hi all I've been reading the forums for a while now, dam good stuff in here.. Just starting out..
Question? have i done everything I need to strip the lilliput.

I've opened it up and taken out the back light, the plastic sheet and the 4 loose filter sheets. Is this all I have to do?

Just wondering as I've projected my 250w light though it, with alans fresnels and Surplus sheds copy lense and all i get is a projection of the light globe on the wall.
I can see the picture on the LCD screen quite brightly but not throught to the wall.

Thanx
Chris

aaargh, I've never had much luck with screws, don't know why, but I just screw them up lol. Anyway, I am a bit stuck with the three screws holding the lcd receiver, I don't know if it is possible to undo them any-more, but do you have any suggestions?

[bobharry]

Oh, well, I got it stripped anyway, with a little help from ace, and now it seems that I have broken the ground connection from the receiver on the lcd to the metal case around it, I'll have to solder it back up tomorrow, when I am awake lol. One thing I did discover from this is that there is a screen displayed with red chinese characters, outlined in black, with copyright sammy displayed in the bottom right corner, dunno why it comes up though.

Ok, here is a pic of the part of mine that is broken, it's not broken in this photo, so I circled the part that is broken, it is just snapped, so I will probably be soldering it back together.

hey bobharry,

there's no need for soldering.

[bobharry]

Then how do I make it work without soldering it back toghether? For now it is just holding itself together and works fine (back in the case).
