This is the first thread that I've posted. I've been interested in making a projector for ages now, and I've just recieved a projector as a gift. (Epson 7550C) I was wondering if anyone would be interested in getting pictures of the inside of it, maybe even purchase it? post and let me know! If there's enough requests to get pictures of the innards of it, I just might attempt to take it apart 
No replies yet? I would think that people in a DIY forum would be interested in getting photos of the inside of a professionally made projector... Maybe I was wrong? 😕 lol... Anyway, a friend of mine was going to throw out his lcd monitor because it has a scratch down the side of the screen. I was wondering; is the front of the screen on an LCD monitor part of the LCD itself, or is it a protective covering? If it is the latter (Which I am assuming it is) I'll probably buy it from him and attempt to remove the protective cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
If he'll let you have it for cheap, take it. Even if it turns out you can't get rid of the scratch, you will still have an LCD monitor to experiment with. If you've wanted a projector for so long, why do you want to sell the one you have!?
Everything seems nice on that XGA and 1000 lumens with three .8 inch lcd panels. Except for the one spec that kills it for me 300:1 contrast ratio means this was obviously meant for powerpoint and not for watching movies. I'd say keep it don't rip it
apart and watch some movies on it.
apart and watch some movies on it.
I think maybe i worded my original entry wrong. What I meant to say was that I've wanted to BUILD a projector for the longest time. I've been watching movies with this PJ and it's actually really nice. You guys are worried about such high contrast ratios, when in all actuality, the output on this pj is fantastic! I was originally thinking about selling, but it would take a pretty penny to part me from this machine.
As far as the LCD goes, I took it apart and found that there is a thin sheet of plastic-like material covering the actual LCD part, and that's the only part of the monitor that has recieved any damage. I peeled that away (it made a nice tearing sound as it peeled off the LCD... must have been static electricity holding it on... Sounded like a roll of tape being unwound) and hiding underneatta perfectly unscathed LCD panel. My next step is to move the driver boards out of the way... From what I can tell they shouldn't pose much of a challenge.
