Thought it would be nice to start a crossrefernce section for a folks who need a replacement lcd, but of course, affordably.
I know that the InFocus LP550LS Projector use a 8.4" panel and it is the same as the one in the Proxima Ovation 810's.
Both lcd's are Sharp LQ9P011 and will cross with each other.
Hope this starts a new era for all of us, LOL.

Well I know that the proxima 810 and 820 use the same LCD, ALSO SKYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY I have the pinouts for the proxima panels vga cables However I have been told By many that VGA cables have but 5-6 actually Hooked up wires in them and the parallell( 25 pin) ends are the same( usually not all 25 pins have been soldered) have you found this to be the case? any Tips tricks and suggestions on this?
There are some pins that don't get used, but for the Proxima there is 14 pins that are used. This type of cable will support many resolutions for different Proxima units. Ovation 810, 820, 822, 800 series in general, colorworks panel, Desktop 2000 series projectors like the 2300, 2800 & 2810.
Here is the pin out:
VGA side: Lcd side:
1 - 1
2 - 2
3 - 3
4 - 11
5 - 10
6 - 14
7 - 15
8 - 16
9 (never used)
10 - 25
11 - 6
12 - 4
13 - 13
14 - 12
15 - 24
Though you may be right about the Ovation 810 and 820 panels lcd's crossing, the 822 will NOT, I blew out one 810 lcd doing this. My bad, LOL.

Sky I think you Misunderstood me, I know the pinouts I just wanted to know if that IN the Bundle of a Regular VGA cable and a parallel printer cable all of the wires are presently hooked up to the pins or if there are some that are not hooked up to the pins( IE i would have to tear apart the endcaps and add more wire, I havent cut through the cables yet Just wondered if you had any thoughts, Im assuming this is what you do to get the 15 and 25 pin connectors. thanks
How to build your own cable
Ok, bare with me here.
I take a VGA extension cable and cut the female side off leaving the male side on to connect to the video card.
There will be 14-15 wires in our VGA extension cable.
I usually go to Radio Shack and pick up a 25 pin printer style connector, they're one and the same type connector.
I pre-tin (pre-solder) pins, 1, 2, 3, 11, 10, 14, 15, 16, 25, 6, 4, 13, 12, & 24. Don't bother with the rest of the pins on it.
After cutting the one end off the VGA cable, strip off about 1 1/4" of the shielding including the tinfoil shield most cables have.
Strip off a very small amount of each wire exposed and pretin them.
Now the tough part. You have to use a multi meter to check what color wire is what. There is no pattern with the colors as each company uses there own color code scheme. So put the meter on pin 1 and check what color wire goes to it and WRITE IT DOWN. Do this for each pin, writing down your results.
Now double check your work. Now start soldering each wire to the solder cup side of the 25 pin connetor and don't forget to solder the single bare wire (the ground wire) to the outer metal casing of the 25 connector.
You will be left with one wire on the VGA cable that won't be needed this is always pin 9 on the vga side. Put a small piece of tape on it so it won't short on anything. Now put tape around all of the wires so they don't short on the hood/housing you use after all the soldering and prep is done.
The only real tip I have to building these cables, is always check the pin numbers as you begin to solder. You will be looking at the back side of the 25 pin connetor so it is important to make sure you know what pin you are soldering. It could be all to easy to get it solder backwards. Most connectors will have a few pins marked with a number, so this will make it easier, but always check and recheck and you will have a good solid cable.
If I am still not getting it, just slap me into next week so I can have a good headstart on ya, LOL

Use a VGA cable instead of a Parallel cable
Oh, Man, now I get it!
Don't use a Parallel cable, they DO NOT have all the needed pins hooked up.
Get a VGA extension cable at Fred Meyers or simular. All needed wires will be there.
Dur, but hey, now you got all the info! Hope it helps out someone.
So I am a bonehead first thing in the morning, one more cup of coffee and I will really be rockin it!

Proxima cable pinout
My old email address will no longer will be in affect and have ask about how to change it so if any of you need to contact me about cables you will be able to.
