Early test results and a benq question

[doughboy]

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

From the shelf to the thermostat is 60 inches. I was holding the triplet in my hand, the throw was around 15 feet, and there was a large amount of light leakage.

Im using a Benq 557s, 12.2 fresnel and triplet from diy labs, and 250w metal halide big bulb. I still have a lot of work to go but these results are encouraging.

For everyone that is using a Benq lcd, what did you do with the plastic films or filters that were inbetween the lcd and backlight?

I shuffled mine so I can't put it back together even if I wanted too 😉

dont use the films they use and diffuse the light breaking down your intensity and turning the mh into a back light lol u will have atleast 2x the image brightness without them.

hey doug and dont touch the filters or white paper as finger marks kill it, try to be very gentle with it and to keep it clean just incase u want to use the screen again some day as a monitor.Try to use cotton gloves.
