3M 6650 panel experience?

[cliveski]

Hi,

I have an opportunity to buy a 3M 6650 panel. It is 800x600 (native), 16.7million colours, 100:1 contrast and 50ms response.

Does anyone have any experience with this panel? It is quite expensive, which I don't mind if it's good quality.

I will be using it with a 4000 lumens OHP to watch DVD movies mostly. I have a Spectra C at the moment. Any thoughts on the specs of the 3M panel in comparison? On paper they look OK, but I'd like to hear about other people's experiences.

Thanks.

Did you get one in the end?

Hi,

Ben

I have a 3M 6150 panel, but no ohp yet 🙁. From testing the panel seems brilliant with a good refresh rate and colours very vivid. Yet to fully test it though. Oh and I paid £90 including postage and VAT off of EBAY.

Anyone had other experiences with these panels?

3M 6650 Power Supply details

Hi

I recently acquired the same model but alas with no power supply. As you are an owner of a 3M power supply for this panel can you supply the exact power requirements and more importantly what pin supplies what on the 7 pin connector.

Does anyone have a manual or a source for spares or any other details ?

Thanks in advance

John

I won an auction for a 3m 5300, should be getting it this week. It has a manual with it, older panel than yours I know, but if you like i'll photocopy the manual and send it to you if you e mail me your address.

I've got a 3M 6650 with no power supply, and it uses a male 7-pin DIN about the size of a MIDI cable. Other than that, all I know is that it's 15V DC and 40W, and I've seen one pinout that shows -15V on pin 2 and +15V on pin 6, when you look at the male DIN connector like so:

4
3 5
2 6
1 7


Anybody have further information? Pinouts, diagrams, or anything? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

3M 6000 series cable help

This is easy to wire up to a standard 15vdc 1amp power supply, see this thread here I made for a slightly older panel I have(3M 6150):
Click Here

I will try to upload pics of the circuit board tommorow

What I did was just wire up a standard 2.1mm power jack, so I could use a normal and cheap transformer


Power Jack available here

IF anyone has a 3M 6000 series panel with a 26pin - 15pin connector, could you get a multimeter and test the pins for continuity for me please!

I have tried this method:

26 to 15 Function

Pin Pin
4 - 3 Blue
5 - 2 Green
6 - 1 Red
13 - 8 Gnd (Blue Shield)
15 - 7 Gnd (Green Shield)
16 - 6 Gnd (Red Shield)
19 - 14 Sync (V sync)
20 - 13 Sync (H sync)

I had a guy called skywayflies on ebay make me this cable, and it does not work!

So if anyone owns a multimeter and a 3m cable with 3 rows of pins, please write them down, it would be much appreciated!


Thanks
