NEW projector from INDIA

[pollok]

Friends, I read from the Lumenlab forum that the lack of brightness is due to the antiglare sheet stuck to the panel, and if it is removed (which may damage the panel if not careful) the brightness and contrast are considerably improved! Some are even comparing the projected image to that of a plasma screen.

Now my lcd panel has a mirror-like coating on one side, and a dull black surface on the other. The dull surface, iI think, has to be the antiglare coating. What is the mirror-like coating then? Any idea, anyone? If put in front of a light source, it is transparent, but without light from behind, it is literally a mirror!!! This panel is not working now, and I am looking for Super tv suggested by Maks to replace it. If i am not able to get 'super' then I will have to get the same panel again as it does not have the FFC problem. So I thought i'll try out the AG removal with the dead panel. But which is the AG?!!!

The mirror like thing what u have mentioned is TAC layer. it is a sheet used for optimising back light used in the lcd. some lcd will have antiglare on both sides and a TAC layer on the back. removing those TAC and AG will considerably increase brightness.

Maks,
You seem to have cut the fresnels pretty neat. What tool did you use to cut the fresnels?

Thanks.

Best regards,

@Nitin
back to the school days.... I used the compass (rounder) to cut the fresnels... not to mention, I broke 3 local made ones, then I bought the known "Camlin" that did the job pretty neat..

For a laptop screen you will need a controller, which are very hard to find (if possible) in India.

Regarding the 10.6" screen, this guy will accept only Wertern union money transfer (not possible from India) or T/T (Risky). What if the product comes damaged. Additionally, one might have to deal with customs to get the product through. All in all a risky proposition.
