gamecube screen.
now, I did ask the same question a while ago but no one answered. but since then I have bought one of these things and snooped around inside it.
I dont know half as much as some of the other guys at this forum but maybe they know what I mean...
1--- I took off the screws on the front of the monitor. and the plastic back of the monitor just nicely came off.
2--- I had to remove screws that held down a electronic board that held speakers and the conections to the A/V jacks.
so far... no problem
3--- the next step was to remove screws that held the rectangular metal cover that held the actual lcd and the back lighting. but there was a mini driver board on this cover wich had a plug that had wires leading through the cover to a main driver board on the inside of the cover.
that was as far as I got because I dont feel good about pulling wires out of possibly soldered in plugs. This thing cost me $192 Canadian. the other thing about these screens is that they are not TFT. fast moving games or movies will be blurred when there is movment. I also had problems with these things like when I take a game out of the console the screen will scramble. It forces you to turn ot off and then back on to get the picture right. I just got mine replaced because the place I bought it at gave me a demo model that was running for god knows how many months. The backlight burnt out in two days flat. The replacement is also a demo and I'm not very happy about it.
My conclusion: even if you can take these things fully apart and use them for a projector BEWARE... the are cheap junk!
bad resolution.. bad refresh rate... BAD QUALITY!
P.S. you can also see vertical and horizontal lines when the contrast is extreme like on gamecubes option screen. you will see the cube, but then you will see dimmer white lines extending from the option cube...REALLY annoying. Bright games or movies have problems too. white clouds and bright blue skys will turn various shades of yellow. The x- box option screen is even worse. it just turns into a big blotch of green and yellow with the options music, memory and the other one I dont remember. you cant even see the X on the screen because its drowned out by big yellow blobs of contrast. detail on this thing is good though. I dont know why this thing works so bad with option screens.
Actualy the best thing about this thing is it work great with headphones. total surround. I can hear things with this screen I can't hear on my stereo.
O.K. ill shut up now.
