Can you say me what Typ is the 8,4" LCD ,please ??
Better is, if you can say me where I can order it 😉 Please, please!!
Because my resuluts really good, but this Setup is my to big!!
I would like to have a portable DIY-Beamer
If I began the DIY-Projekt one of my first ideas, was to take a old PC- Tower and built so my DIY-Beamer, but I´ve found no small LCD
!!
And now this *PERFECT*
Sorry for my bad English, but i´m learning ;o)

- Picture above(girl in Italy. that girl's on her honeymoon.🙂 ) was 100" at 10'. That projector can focuses between 6.5'~16' distance from the wall.
They sold 50 sets at that time. ( I think that was thier 3rd group purchase). Unfortunately, It was only available in their forum.
I don't know if international shipping is possible.
- LCD spec is just the above description.
and I asked our members in that forum about this, and got this answer.
LCD is AU (http://www.auo.com/e_main_contactus.shtml -I think this is Tiwan company)
ADC board is... ADC : MODEL=FX600, MAKER = Fellcom (www.fellcom.com), Contact = Mr. Cho JH in this site, there are some compatible LCD and controller lists
This is all I got now. But I think it's somehow hard to get this individually. Not sure.

ASK Impact 21 Results
Film : JoyRide
This is my result with an ASK Impact 21, and an old 3M Projector (400W 36V Halogen bulb).
Sorry picture is a little to bright, my digitalcamera isn't good for night photos. I've at the moment problems with a hotspot but i think that i can fix with a condensor optical lens.
Picture diagonally is about 1.70m (~ 80" ?)

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

nView Spectra, 4000 Lumen Elmo OHP. FXL-5 bulbs. I'm using an old PC(800mhz Socket A AMD, 8x DVD, 16meg Video, 96megs ram, 6 gig HDD) as a media PC. Plays DVD, DivX, Xvid, SVCD, VCD great. Here's some shots I took, it's a lot brighter really(old digital camera). This is projecting onto an off-white sheet.
Approx. 8ft Wide
That's a 15" CRT in the bottom right
Just another Screenshot
Stereos. Front 4 are hooked up to bottom(240w rms), Rear 2 hooked to top(50w rms), and the sub is hooked to a car amp on the floor(200w rms). Two Fronts are 15", all the rest are 8" and the sub is 10". And yes, the speakers can handle all that power.
OHP, PRojection Panel. Fan is to keep it cool(It helps a bit when it's really hot).
It likes DVDsssss precioussssss?
So what ya think?

My first results, CMV1515
Hey everybody, got my projector running. CMV1515, MH400U ($16), Standard ballast ($35 and it's quiet, can't hear it at all). I got my optics from China, custom dual fresnels, short focal length on back fres, and a lens triplet from China as well. I'll be switching to a slightly different form factor on my bulb, the MH 400W/HBD/T15 (link), as my current setup puts the bulb center about an inch off center. Even so, with no reflector fitted and a malaligned bulb, I can watch with rooms lights on with excellent brightness on the screen.
(One adult screen shot, don't click if you're bothered by such things..)

Brainchild-be sure to post your results with that new bulb, as I am very interested because I'm using one of those huge 400w ones right now.
Brainchild, I noticed the link you provided for the new bulb only sales the bulbs in a case of 12. Are you going to purchase that many? If so would you be willing to sell a couple. I’m going to use a very similar setup as you, and I think the smaller form factor of the bulb will help my setup greatly.
thinking about it..
Sn, yeah I am thinking about getting a dozen...be happy to sell a couple...anybody else interested in one of these bulbs?
~cheers

t-15 bulb
A better choice may be this bulb.
http://www.eyelighting.com/cleanace.html
They can be bought individually here.
http://www.hellolights.com/400wat65iw.html
Althought the literature says they need to run on a mercury vapor ballast, they will run on a standard 400w metal halide ballast. I can personally attest to that.

Re: t-15 bulb
Nice lamp, however it is nearly 2 inches longer (MOL = 11.6") than the MH 400W/HBD/T15, which has a MOL of 9.75" and a Light Center Length of 5.75". The MT400DL/BH's Light Center Length is 7.2", which is on par with the big ol' MH400U. In my case design I have the lamp mounted on the diagonal in order to minimize the enclosure size as much as possible. The diagonal measurement of my case is 17". By using the MH 400W/HBD/T15 my light center will be nearly exactly centered. (The mogul base adds nearly 2" to the overall length of the bulb.) The MT400DL/BH has a better color temp but is bigger, has less lumens and is $20 more.

ok...
I'll try to get it together, the final cost per bulb will be around $40 after shipping...

I'm sorry for posting OT in this thread, but where did you get your optics from? You said china.. but is it feasible that any of us could go about getting this stuff? If your projector really is viewable with regular lights on, I'm really interested in the types of the optics you used..
WHat kind of focal lengths etc.. because I dont think anyone else's DIY has really been useable with lights on.

Lights On?
Sadd3j:
I would take that with a grain of salt.....This is a totally subjective decision. What's "watchable with lights on" for one person looks like washed out crap to the next! Any projector, commercial or DIY, looks 100% better in a DARK room. Besides, movies are meant to be viewed in the dark! Casual or Daytime viewing is much better handled with a RPTV or CRT. Even my new X1 (bright as hell) needs a dark room to really shine.

A grain of salt indeed...although I'm not exaggerating when I say can watch my projector with the lights on. Usually when we watch I dim the lights but leave enough on to see drinks etc. Also if your room lights simply point away from your screen, or your screen is located in a niche area, lights on viewing will be much better. The optics I'm using are actually manufacturer's samples...sorry but they don't sell to individuals in small quantities.

Here is my results, sorry I couldn't post them up here:

They are projected onto a cream coloured bed sheet, using a standard 250W OHP and a polaroid polaview 3000.
Projection size is 85".
Hope you enjoy, tell me what you think.

Having just bought an NEC 1545v....I'm almost wondering if I should have just boughten a projector in the first place...*sigh* That pic looks great...but hopefully so will my monitor.
