Just got my power supply for my nview MediaPro, I will be checking it out on an overhead tonight. I think I may try and buy a broken 3M 9550 overhead, just for the optics. It has triplet optics in the head that focus by themselves without the need for a moving stage. That will be very useful when trying to put this whole thing in a box.

In undreams pic he drew where it says ground is actuly a common or neutral that is seperate from the ground.

"It'a good. Very comfortably, because many people have here this lining also! If you a question over it have. Many people can help you! It is an intelligent choice. Have fun! Totzehns!"
And I agree.

Heres my screen thought yall would like to see it. Its 8 foot wide and 6 foot tall.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Correct me if i am wrong....
Most cartoons use 24 frames per second output, right. and when you see 24 fremes a sec, you see a smooth image. Since my Panel, Infocus 7600ws..hehe, has a Passive matrix and won't support like 35+ frames per second, then it will do 24 easily. Also, i can lock the frame rate on my videocard to 24 per second, and have no conflicts with the panel. That things is supposed to be here tommorow, i am anxious. Tell me if i am right or wrong.

sorry to tell you, but no matter how many frames the input has, the panel will blur.
Passive matrix uses short electrical bursts of current to each row of pixels. It cannot turn the pixels of as fast as Active Matrix. Passive Matrix LCD panels were designed for use with things like powerpoint, not full motion video

agreed. plus, the deal really isnt a framerate issue, the eye sees a seemless full motion image at only ~16 fps. however, just becuase its 16 frames per second, doesnt mean the panel can actually accurately display all those frames.
Marklar is right, its a neutral, not a ground! my bad! the wires are actually labeled COM (common) i was doing it from memory at work, so you know.. 🙂
Also, update! I have a GREAT start on my final box! Its pretty darn nice looking 🙂 ill post pics tomorrow, since my compactflash is sitting on my desk at work! DOH!

How big is your box going to be? From how mine is setup its gonna be about 4 feet long and around 12 inches high and wide.
13 1/4" tall (not including some rubber feet im going to put on it that will add 1/2" or so), 16 1/4" wide (width of my LCD panel + a little extra for the bulb mount). Main box will be 23 1/2" long. however, there will be a focusable extenstion holding the lens that is about 14" long, making for a full length of around 36" (3 feet) when focused to 4:3 aspect on my screen. Slightly longer when projecting 16:9.
Hi all, while listening to my wife speak, I thought of something (just joking)...
I was thinking of how light travelled through mediums such as glass in fiber optic strands, and wondered if a light collector could be built. Simply put the idea is poor glass into a cone shape, knocking off the point to whatever size emitter you want. The large end could be used to collect the combined light source of 3,4 or five bulbs.... Would this work or should I start listening to the wife because light only travels through this type of medium when all sides are parallel???

Got my panel.
I finally got my panel, Infocus 7600ws, and i can tell you one thing, it works well. I ran Microsoft flight Simulator on it, and man, no BLURRY textures or anything like that. I just wish it had more inputs. I am surprised that you guys told me the opposite. I did not test other games like Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament, but i plan to test them too.

cool. test something fast. its not as much the blurring, as vertical lines that appear, almost like an interlaced source. im curious now. if work out well, thats an easy panel to get, and cheap too!
hehe...
all of a sudden everyone is interested. i am going to test Quake 3 first thing in the morning. i will let you know right away.

Could some1 please tell the best products that I could buy, If I am willing to spend AUD$900 on a DIY LCD Projector project.
I would also like to say that I am looking to build a projector that offers a picture quality that is AT LEAST equal to a standard TV.
So basically, what are the BEST lenses, LCD's, Lights etc that I could get, to build a projector for AUD$900(This is approx. US$450), and what sort of quality would the picture be for this equipment?
I dont mind going the Small Pannell way(1.8") or the larger pannels such as 4". All I want is the best quality projector, for the amount of money I have.
Any advice is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeroth

the spectra c. i want to use that panel for normal use to. is there already a light behind the panel ?? i want to use it has a second monitor too. sorry for my bad english. I just mean if the panel is on i can see the colors good.
Jeroth,
Unfortunately, there is no easy way for you to just 'build a DIY Projector'. Its a lot more than money. Sure, I have no doubt that 450$US is enough. But what its going to take is intelligence, persistence, work, time, effort, and patience. I've invested three months of my time into this project so far, probably in upwards of 4 hours a day (including research, discussion, etc) and, I am only now beginning to see results. First of all, you need to read this thread beginning to end before you even begin to post. Most of your questions will be answered. Secondly, you need to research sites outside of this one. Theres a lot of information that needs to be absorbed before you begin. If you don't know what you're doing, you'll waste money and time. We are still at the point where we need to understand whats going on with all these components. Theres no 'standard blueprint' that we are following. Each one of us has a unique setup.
The only thing that we could possibly do is recommend you a overhead projector and panel to use, because those are the only sure things right now.

Regarding the Infocus 7600ws...
I had a quick look at the specs for this lcd panel (albeit, on an e-Bay sale page, so source isn't 100% guaranteed) and it says the panel has a contrast ratio of 15:1
Now, I don't know, as I'm still figuring out this stuff, but isn't this a *very* low contrast ratio? I'm experimenting with a panel with a 100:1 ratio, and I've been told that that's still not very good, many-hundred:1 is the ball park we should be in.
Just wondering, as the Infocus 7600ws can be bought cheaply enough, but there may be a reason for that...
thanks,
dave.
