Greetings!

I'm new and would love to build my own lcd projector! I've looked at a few sites and am intrigued by the simplicity of the projector. Never thought that it would be that simple considering how much companies charge for those things >$1000.00!

I need to understand for my sake, just how it works. If I am not mistaken one could either use mirrors to direct the image from the lcd display through the lens or simply place the lcd display behind the lens to project onto a screen or wall. Both requiring a light source of course.

Here's the part that I am not quite sure about. If I wanted to use my laptop (powerpoint), is there a way for me to connect my laptop to the lcd display? Is that how it works?

Thank you. This is absolutely great!

Richard
