Man, that's great !!!
If I was you I'd at least enjoy it for a while.... you know, play some Halo2 on it and stuff.... and also the convenience of having a big screen available 24/7 and not just when the sun goes down...
how's the lcd projector going?

I will definately enjoy it for a while, but I will test it at 84 inches soon! BTW, sorry I hate Halo 1 and 2, lol. I did play some Max Payne2 on it, I would have played others, but my pc is f-ed. (lol, thats right I DONT have an XBOX, PC is the only way to go for me)
Also, sorry but the LCD projector is on hold for a little while, and so is my diy single CRT projector... Im not quittin though!
I would love to find a suitable remote control (i have a universal...). Im looking for a recent Sony TV remote (as far as I know, they work for most sony tvs) that has Picture in Picture buttons.
Man this TV can make a great projector!

Ok, I tested it at about 120-130 inches (i didnt want to move it closer after I took off the screen, because it was still attached by many wires (the button panel is attached to the screen border)...
I couldnt converge it! I could ALMOST focus it, it would focus just fine at 84" im sure. But the convergence... the red and blue were off center by like 5 inches... I maxed out the convergence moving towards center, and still not enough. I think that if I can get access to the service menu, I can probably converge it from there.
Sorry I got no pics cuz I dont have a digital camera (i have a crappy one that can take like 320x240 or sometin, ill see if I can find it).
At about 120 inches it was definately bright enough to watch, even though the brightness was at almost minimum, and contrast at like 70%

ive been following this thread for awhile and had been thinking of building one. i even bought the lcd at futureshop for $20 before i ever even saw this thread, i had just bought it "in case i had a project to try" 😎
anyways i stripped the lcd and borrowed a slide projector just to see how it works to start. note that i was borrowing this one off someone so i couldnt disassemble it to properly fit the lcd, so i could only project a small section of the screen. at least i could see it was working.
ill be sure to post with my progress and results (pics too) when i actually get a slide projector of my own. on that note if anyone in toronto has one, or knows a good source for one, toss me an email msivec at mochamail dot com

looking for an lcd
I'm having trouble finding a suitable lcd for this project in my price range ($20-$25 USD) new or used. Anyone have any leads?

If anybody wants a HipGear ScreenPad, I have one I can sell for $40 shipped. It's brand new, I just opened the box to check it out. Never been powered up. I'm going to a lilliput.

yes these are the lcd's that are being used but best buy has them for 29.99 plus tax here in winnipeg.
yes but ideally you would want to use the ps2 version, as it can be easier to connect a source to it without modification.corryn00 said:

Our mall's KayBee had Intecs today
But I bought them all...For $25, with an extra 30% off, so I got 2 Intecs for under $40 including tax. Sweet deal, so far.
More to come as I acquire and assemble the rest of the parts...
