Hey Builder I just ordered a 250w HQI ballest light and endcaps from www.yellertwoproducts.com and it came within 3 days and was packaged really well I would recomend them. it was 159.00 plus shipping, hope that helps.
WHAT?!?!?!?!
$159.99 is way too much for a lightsource that will be installed in a DIY projector, is it not?
i am watching a few ballasts on ebay and i am not planning to pay more than 60 for both ballast and the bulb. SO far i got a 250W MH bulb for $20 from ebay, brand new, 22000 lumens, 4200K. so that leaves me with $40 for ballast.
good luck all🙂

Slize,
Yes, please let me know how that NEC 1525 comes apart.
Guys, I would REALY appreciate some help here. I tried using a Samsung Syncmaster 15" AND a NEC 1555v also 15" and they both had a dang ribbon cable conecting two cards behind the freaking screen🙁 I cannot use either one as it covers up too much of the screen. btw the Samsung is a bad **** lil monitor (the best screen I have seen, as far as all of it goes). But please help me on this (as I am driving myself mad, lol) and let me know of any type of LCD monitor displays you guys have used (that were easy to work with once taken apart and are still for sale, stores or e-bay🙂) I would very much appreciate it. Thanx to all in advance.

Ohio, really??
I don't know anyone in Ohio that uses the word "****".
I have had great success with the NEC 1545V. What is the LG model number on the internal TFT module on the 1555V?

Mav,
Dunno. My friend is the one doing it (I bought the stuff and I am doing most of the research, but I have never used soder for anything) yes, I use "****" all the time, lol. btw, I can't find a NEC 1545 for sell anywhere (even ebay) do you know of any others for sure that work?

Of possible interest
Hello all.
Just stumbled into this forum and thread a few days back.
Interesting ideas here. This subject has been of interest to me, on and off...for some time now...but I must admit...I haven't yet tried to build my own, due to excessive cost.
Anyway.....
After reading most of the individual postings here, I thought I'd add my two pennies worth.
Some info and items readers here might find of interest:
Scientific Americian Magazine, March 1991, vol 264, #3
page 76 "Non-Imaging Optics - Funnels for Light can concentrate solar energy to supersolar intensity"
The principals might help with light collecting problems I see mentioned here...
Scientific Americian, "Amateur Telescope Making, vols 1, 2, & 3", Albert G Ingall Editor
- it's not just about telescope making...good optics info, theory and DIY how-tos -- no ISBN number
and finally...
IBM made a Thinkpad laptop, models 755CV & 755CDV.
These particular models are designed to be used as normal laptops, but also can fold open flat, after removing the LCD panel back cover...for use in an OHP.
Downside...640x480 pxls...low colour palatte...and 486/Pentium classic (upgrades) CPUs. Obsolete.
Hope this info proves useful.

Re: more stuff
Theres a couple on ebay. Just search for NEC 15", do not type in 1545V because it will not narrow the search for you.

Got it.
Mav,
Look at some of my other posts. I finally got it🙂 I used the Samsung 150MP and it only had one card on it (which is out of the way) and one sammler card hooked to that card (for menu selections, but is is out of the way too) came out great! Thanx for your willingness to help me🙂

New Fresnel
That's GRRRRReat!!!.
As for me, I am happy with my 1545. Now I am just waiting for my new shorter length fresnel lens from Alan to increase my brightness. The shorter focal length on one side lets it capture more of the 400 W MH bulb's output and send it through the lcd panel. The 13" fl drops to 8" fl on just the bulb side. I will be able to shorten my case as well.

Yeah
Mav,
Can you elaborate on that a bit more for us? Do you have to crop the image at all? My LCD does not allow me to crop the screen image🙁 How much does this cost and where can we get one?

Hey slize, Look What I got!
I just bought a CMV 1515 LCD monitor! $239 shipped and brand new!
Resolution: XGA
Colors: 16.7
Contrast: 500:1
Pixel Pitch: 0.297 mm
Responce Time: 15 ms
It has a stand alone power supply so there is no ac power going into the monitor itself which i like. Should be a very clean strip to take out the lcd. There will probably not be too many boards in there layin around.
And get this! It Has two 1 watt speakers 🙄 !
I figure at $239 this is a pretty good deal for the specs. I'll keep you guy informed as to the ribbon cable situation. It's really taking a long time to get my lexan glass projector built lol. Least i'll have a good display in the meantime.

Fresnel lens with the split Focal Length
Alan has a web site called www.diylabs.com and sells alot of stuff that we can use. His prices are cheap considering that all of it is new, not ebay. Many people here have dealt with him, but many get frustrated with his long fulfillment times. He found the new fresnel lens for us and is the only source that I know that has it, so I wait patiently for it to arrive. He actually has enough parts that he can supply everything in kit form except the lcd itself.

*tired*
omg, it took me about 10 hours of work today just to instal my lightsource into my projector's enclosure. I finally recieved my ballast on Monday and was making plans of my projector to be... I ordered 2 ballasts from ebay, a 250W ballast and a 400W ballast. They both cost me about $60 and the 250W ballast works pretty well. They are both new. The bulb that i got off of ebay, 250W MH 4200K and i think 22000 lumens also keeps me very much satisfied *knock on wood*. As to my LCD, i am using viewsonic 15" XGA lcd. it came apart alright, but the ribbon cables are a little flexed in my construction. About 30 minutes ago, i tested the whole "prototype" that is for now held together my duct tape, and still, i got a bright, sharp and very good looking image. I did not get a chance to connect it to my computer, but the BLUE color in lcd menu, was the sharpest blue color i have ever seen. It looked about 5-10 times better than the color i got from dukane quantum and Sharp QA-2500. I will work super hard tommorow to try to install the optics and the LCD in place permanently...
that's all for now🙂
good luck all
