Greetings.
I'm new to this scene but have put some research into making a DIY projector but I've got a few questions.
I'm going to be using a 400w, 5000 lumen's triplet lens projector that I've found for £75.
A Iiyama Prolite 38a TFT monitor 1024x768 with a refresh rate of 74.9hz monitor featured here
for about £50.
Eventually, I'll be connecting my wii through a vga box to it but that comes later.
So a few questions:
1:Is that ohp good enough, is it worth the money or could i get better for that price?
2:Is that monitor good enough, is it worth the money or could i get better for that price?
3:What size would the final screen be and has anyone got any pictures of what they would expect it to look like?
Lastly, i can't go spending mad money, I'm a 15 year old with a paperound "laugh all you want".
I'll be very greatful for any replies and I'll apologize in advance if i don't have a clue what i'm talking about.
Thank you,
Jimbo

I dont know the exchange rate for currency as I am in the US but 125 doesnt sound too bad. the OHP sounds good, the monitor sounds good, are you going to just place the stripped lcd on the OHP's glass surface? are you going to build an enclosure for the OHP's optics? determining the projected image size will require the focal length of the lens. I would guess the final image will be about 80" diag. @ ~8' from the screen. thats just a rough guess based on the average 330mm FL lens that is in most OHP's.
I have to give you credit being 15 and starting a project like this, and you have a job to support it! good for you.
