Hi🙂 I know there are some other threads on this but they were kind of old so I though I would start a new one, I hope that was okay... I'm trying to build a projector, I'm going to buy a Sharp QA-1650 lcd panel, but I really have no idea as to what overhead projector I need to buy. I really don't have alot of money to spend on it, but want it to be a good one. Any suggestions?
Thanks alot,
Nathan

Try searching for ads in local papers and on internet for people selling near you. Try talking to your friends or lokal school , they might have someone sitting in the basement. I dont know what is a good or a bad type of overheadprojector but I would have bought a newer looking one. Then I higly recomend you change the original lighting set up in the OHP to a MH lamp because a normal OHP lamp has a yellowish light and only last for around 50-100h. The MH lamp have a running time of around 12 000 h so It will be cheaper in the end.

This gives you some stats on a few ohps http://www.louisville.edu/~wchall01/diyprojector/overheads.htm
You probably want 4000 lumens from it at least (although if you will replace the lights what it starts with is unimportant), some poeple have good results with less though
If you havent got your projection panel yet here are a lot of the res for them

Well i depends what you want from it really,if you want to use it as it comes with the lights, lenses as standard then it definately matters - that way you're looking for a triplet lens and a 4000 lumen output really (or so is the consensus)
But if course if certain bits are going to be replaced then those bits dont matter
