I'm tempted, just wondering if the contrast ratio is too low.
As for light sources, thinking i'll use an old 1600w xenon from work out of a 16mm fumeo film projector.
Would love to hear anyones comments on the 12" earth lcd. Or if someone has found a decent small panel with 800 x 600 or greater rez thats avaliable. I'm hanging to build something, have a million and one old parts at work (we're a cinema service company here in Australia)
Also fixed more then a few lcd/dlp projectors, kicking my self for not realising just how easy it would be to make something till I stumbled across u guys.
Thanks a million,
Mark Hathaway

You can get that and the controller board for $299
150:1 contrast ratio is the same as most of the OHP panels people are using here. Have a look at some of their posted pics and personal websites for examples (Check main thread and old main thread).

How about a regular projection panel like many guys use here.
Similar contrast ratio. 800 x 600 are not so common but they are about. Try ebay search projection panel. Be probably quite a lot cheaper and sounds like you can do your own lighting ok.
That earth one has to be connected to a computer wereas many projection panels have composite video in. Most will run NTSC and PAL. Have a look in the good panel/bad panel thread for recommendations from users.
Good luck.
