This is the result of 1 hour of writing and reading. There have been many members asking about panels and whatnot so here you go. These are most of the specifications for good DIY friendly projection panels. All of these have been used and have yield good results. If you would like me to add more projection panels or have any comments, please feel free to just post. ENJOY!

Sharp QA-1200- 640x480, 720x480, 1.4M, VGA, RCA, active matrix.
depending on where you get info 150:1 contrast (can't confirm)
definately a useable panel, impresses my mates :P

nView Z115, 640X480, 1.4M colors, 8.4" active matrix, (VGA, RCA, S-video inputs). Economical alternative, flexible inputs, < $150 on ebay, $5495 MSRP originally. Look for models on Ebay with power supply and connectors included.

I have one ordered and in route with no connecting cables or power cord. I will test it and may make it available to members here if anyone is interested.

I don't know if anyone is going to find this useful, but here are two sites I found that provide good information for projection panels. I've found most of the panels I've looked for on one of these two. Enjoy!

Cool first link"commspecial " seems to be dead

[spenczoid]

Does anyone know anything about this panel? Is it good for DIY or would a different one be better?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38650

It's relatively small, good price, high resolution, and theres alot of options for input.

It seems really good but I want some other peoples opinions.
Tell me what you guys think.

I am just getting interested in this, but I have been searching for about a week on the posts to get information.

i have 2 possible lcd's and i"m wondering if either is worth a crap

1. Portable "Cyberhome " dvd player w 6" W * 3.5" H
LCD Panel:
1440 x 234 Pixels

Frequency Response:
DVD Audio (fs 192kHz): 4Hz - 88kHz
DVD Video (fs 96kHz): 4Hz - 44kHz
CD/Video CD (44.1kHz): 4Hz to 20kHz

2. i also have a compaq laptop that is about 5 or 6 years old

[umbra]

don't know about the dvd player but I do know it would cost a fortune to get the converter cards to use a laptop lcd screen for a projector

I have an Nview spectra lcd panel with no power supply.
What voltage and current does it need? There's no information on the unit & I'd rather not start experimenting!
Thanks
