LCD panels

Here it is. Note the short flat cable on the lower left. The connector is a 20 pin subminiature that flips up. This prevents the boards being relocated out of the way so you can remove the backlight and replace it with an OHP. It would be nice if we had a source for extension cables, but I am sure if they were available someone would have posted it by now. If I can find the female connector, I may make an attempt to create my own.


It is now back together and working fine. I didn't look at the pictures until after it was back together, so I apologize for the quality and the shadow of my head and the camera.

For some reason I cant get the image to come up. I read the FAQ and it says to submit as an attachment. Am I missing something?

Down at the bottom of your post screen is the attach file Choose button.

I reduced the size, maybe this will help. Thanks for the help Zardoz, that is what I tried the first two times. it wont even show up when I do the post preview.

The problem with posting turned out to be the browser. I was able to post this to the everything else group as a test.

YWH had a post to extend cable a while ago.

Has anyone used the Kogi GVision L5QX 15" LCD Monitor in a DIY setup yet? The model has been on the market at least six months and is generally around $250 or so (plus a $50 rebate!). Specs read out pretty well, but will most OHP fresnels handle the size?

Kogi GVision L5QX
15" TFT active matrix LCD
1024 x 768 native res
250 cd/m2 brightness
350:1 contrast
0.297 mm dot pitch (some dealers say 0.28, but the manufacturer's specs out squat -- http://www.4kogi.com)
140 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles
Antiglare coating
15-pin VGA input only

I read about the rewiring hassles associated with its 14" L4BX sibling and was wondering if it had the same problems. A search on the model number brought up zero information.

Any feedback would be great! Thanks!

Hello all...
yesterday i borrow an old lcd panel from school...
What a pitty i didnt find any results / tests on this panel..
so i'll make a review..

Name : Infocus 1600LC Panel
Year : 1993
Colors: 16 (Bad ! 2 Color Layers Green/Red)
Res. : 640x480 / 800x600
Inputs : special Cable / VGA /Mac on Cable

So.. the 16 colors really sucks.. thats bad..
It's impossible to watch a movie without getting eye-cancer
..
The reaction time is very fast.. one positive point but all in one the
panel is :
- very dark
- bad colors (yeah mixed red/green colors...)
+ points:
- up to 800x600
- fast reaction

but all in one not usefull for a DIY projector project..
I hope i could help...

Greetings
Bernhard

Has anybody tried to disassemble the panels from Earthlcd.com? Are they simple? I'm looking at a 12.1" NEC panel with XGA, an ok contrast ratio (150:1), and I'm not sure what the response time is. Any help would be great. This is my first post, so please go easy on me. Thanks.
