This is a steal for a small size high pixel widescreen aspect LCD. Anyone know if it can be stripped?
*cough* I dare say it would be rather stupid putting it on a diy projection site if it was not strippable.
*cough* I dare say it would be rather stupid to say that without knowing about STAPLES Business Depot (staples.ca or staples.com)😉
Yes, I noticed that item a few days ago, and went ahead and ordered one. Should arrive next week. We shall see. I'll take some digital snaps when I open it up.

Perhaps I was stupid to assume. Sorry about that.
"Assume makes an *** outta you and me" - pure brilliance.
This widescreen lcd is available for $229 in-store and you can print up some Staples' coupons to drop the price even further.
Oh yea, its 100% strippable with ZERO FFC"s , all real wires inside 😉

amazing, no body seems to be interested in this LCD. If you want true HD resolution(720p) without a large box for a 17" LCD, it is the best LCD you can get
anyone has picked up one yet? how does it look? I dont have plan to buy it now yet. I have too many LCD already, but I'd like to keep it as an option for the future upgrade.

proview PL576 has response time at 25ms. I would guess this model wont be far from it. but it is a totally different model, some one have to try video on it to be sure.

Any feedback from someone that bought this LCD? A note about the price: there are several Staples near me and only one store has the monitor priced at $229.
DVI
Anyone know for sure if this has a DVI input? I've read conflicting reviews. If it does I'm all over it.
Thanks in advance

Can be found at the staples brick and mortar store as well. It costs $229 in the two stores near me but apparently YMMV with price.jdevo2004 said:
an htpc ought to take full advantage of all 1280x800 pixels.
18wheeler , have you stripped this monitor? Just want to know how you found out that model # Toshiba Matsushita Display LTD154EX0HG,
not sure if you're referring to the right panel.
I went to staples to have a look for myself on my way home from work. Well.... I ended up buying it anyway 
Haven't got it out of the box yet. I'll post my impressions here in a little while.
Anyone know if 'standard' 15" fresnels will work with this LCD?
Anyone got it projecting an image yet?
I have yet to aquire any other need parts as I was waiting for the right LCD. Any help would be great as it's my first DIY projector project.
Thanks again for the help,
Gary

OK so my impressions...
No dead pixels 😀
Just watched T2 Extream edition and No noticable ghosting.
Pixel response tests are quite good, much better than I expected.
Both of these are consistant with an ~18ms response time.
At first look I thought the contrast ratio was very bad, as blacks looked very washed out (read grey), allthough colors looked pretty good. After a while, I realized much of this is due to a very poor viewing angle (The monitor only sits about 1 1/2 inches from the surface it is sitting on). I then noticed that while looking at the LCD from directly 90 degrees the top half of the screen has nice blacks, but the bottom still looked very bad. I believe this is due to some bad backlight bleeding. I think once this LCD is striped and in a box it will perform very nicely.
This LCD is definatly 1280x800 native, 1280x768 noticably blurs/stretches pixel fonts and true circles.
I don't plan on stripping it untill I research and find the correct optics for this screen, so I hope someone else can share thier experience with us in the interim.

I've only seen fresnels large enough at DIY PROJECTOR COMPANY (the 15.5" ones). Some of the 80mm projection lenses may be fine, but look at your desired projected image size and throw distance - that may well dictate what lens you need to get. Something like this lens may be best, I'd just like to find something a bit cheaper.

This monitor is posted last year in a Chinese website. It looks exactly same as the proview (even the sticker on the base). And I noticed that both were made in China.
MAG PS576W
Once I get rid of my excess LCDs I will try this Proview.
