Smile STOP ! You have never seen this DIY LCD with Results !!!

Very briefly just want to offer a personal thanks to all of the diy minded individuals that share this site, yes I am talking to all of you, from the super intelligent video freaks to the passer bys like myself who are just shocked and glad to see others with similar interests, THANK YOU ALL sincerely for the shared info and the help that you have provided that is secretly absorbed by all ...
I have owned several projector mods, and started like many with the overhead /panel projects, however even with xga res on the proxima 920 and a 4000 lumens overhead, I was not satisfied with the intensity and brightness, which led to my current finished project,
Provided are a few pictures of the setup--
> Vintage Kodak carousel slide projector modified $ 4
> 2.5 inch lcd stripped from the
intec controller screen for ps2 (see pic) $ 25
> Ps2 to 2 rca audio and 2 video wire $ 8

RESULTS:
Overall I am very satisfied with the intesity, 300W halogen style bulbs which simply pop in and are the same as the overhead type !
The color and brightness are fully adjustable on the control board ! The picture looks excellent once the focus is ever so slightly "off" and any remaining screen door is diminished, the res for this panel is surprisingly high, hard to find the actual pixel count anywhere, but definately 235x300 or so as this lcd looks great at 45" diagonal but should not exceed 55" , Overall very pleased, Thanks to all for the many posts !!!

This type of slide projector is easy to find, very affordable, and easily stripped to accomadate the 2.5-2.6 inch lcd as well as the control boards for a totally integrated and portable unit of your own ! ...

Thats pretty impressive considering the panel. Better contrast than I'd expect.

Nice Job

almost forgot the 2.5" lcd, stripped from an "intec" product, also similar to the "hipgear" ps2 controller screen ...

Just a footnote, this setup can accomadate any video game system, any dvd , vhs movie, with no macrovision issues (the secret enemy of early produced panels !) and plays cable tv like no ones business, nice !
Now I would not recomend this setup style for all you super xga types, yeah you know who you are, the never satisfied... anyway the res is great for the rest of us ! Leave some pics of your similar projects or let me know if you need questions answered...
