Hey... I bought the LCD from Mumbai as I had gone there for Diwali. It's a 7" screen with 16:9 aspect ratio, and built in tuner. It came for 3750/-. I dunno where in B'lore can we get the same type of screen, but you can visit SP road and hunt for it. I am planning to go there this saturday, so let me know if you wanna accompany..!!

Hi,
I have been following this thread for a while, and I am interested in the DIY projector too.

mrcoolbuddy:

For LCD panels (for ones used in car), try JC road also - lot of automobile accessories and spares.
Alternate can be National Market (close to Tribuvan theatre, near Majestic).

And yes, please post your findings.

Best of Luck !

I stripped the LCD this weekend... and also got the FFC cables from the local market.... one for the control boards, and other for the LCD. It cost me Rs. 70/- and Rs. 200/- respectively. But these are kinda plain FFCs and not extension cables. While I could manage to link both the LCD control boards with one of the FFCs, just wondering how can I extend the LCD panel thru the control board with this plain FFc. Any inputs..???

Maks.

Great job Budhi. I am new to this forum. I have decided to make my own projector. My main concern is what to buy first, the LCD panel or projection triplet lense (for me it is like what came first the hen or the egg). Please help me regarding this. Thanks.

if I were you I would first off buy the lcd panel so you know the correct size of lenses to buy. Also, if the lcd cannot be taken apart then you won't have lenses lying around with no use.

Just my thought..

I agree with Rob.

I would first purchase the LCD and see it if can take it apart and see if I am convinced it can still be used for the projector. Then I would work around the design and procure all other parts.

Else I would put the LCD back and put it to any other use.
