nah that wasnt me.
I was also thinking of adding a second lcd to it, just a display controlled by the computer for dvd, and stuff. Also thinking of having it display the current temperatures inside the computer part and projector part. I can find out easily how to do the computer part, but not too sure about the projector part. Also trying to find if i can control the power to the light (make it go on or off) via the computer.

Default Laptop screen

If someone had a working laptop with an USB port.

Then it would be possible to connect a TV tuner to it.


Do you guys think using this for a projection setup could work?


My main concern is luminosity. A laptop LCD is very different than a projection LCD, so I wonder if it can be done (without disassembling the laptop of course).



Please tell me someone already did this and got good results

lifter!
if you have video card that has connector for external DVI transmitter, then you can hook up laptop LCD directly to it!
you just need pinout for LCD and that connector!
it gives all the signals that you need!

Default Well....I tore it apart.

Curiousity got the best of me and I took a perfectly good Toshiba laptop and dismantled it far enough to expose the lcd screen. It actually dismantled pretty quickly and easily. I then shot light (from just an inexpensive spot light) through the 12 inch lcd into a page magnifier held close to the lcd (which actually is pretty close to the same size) and focused that with my planoconvex lense......ladies and gentlemen, we have GOT to figure out how to make these laptop screens work for us! There seems to be so much potential there. My laptop screen is 800x600 res. and it made a very pretty picture on the wall. Unfortunetly, my wife came in and caught me with my laptop in pieces and made me put it all back together LOL! I know this has been mentioned before, but can't we just "gut" an older laptop and use it to power the lcd screen? What functions/parts are necessary in using an old laptop as a "portal" through which to say run a tv tuner card through to the lcd panel? If the card "overlays" the screen, do we need lots of processing power or ram? (mine is an older 380 mhz AMD with 32meg of ram so it can't take much) Do we need the keyboard and all the drives (hard and floppy) to be in working order to display things? Sigh.....

can anybody post here some diagrams/pinouts for those video cards with connector for external dvi doughter board?

i think that is the simplest and the cheapest way to do it!

and there wouldn`t be any A/D or D/A conversion, which means the best possible quality of the picture!
