This is where I got a lot of my ideas from. Like you I also use other peoples ideas but as I said this is what the forums are about and you will also find this on the Lumenlab forum.
He is using a HDTV cardQuote:
I thought it might be nice to project HDTV onto my wall and save myself x $1000's. HDTV cards are on sale in Aust for the computer at just $200-$300. The problem is that the LCD's are so expensive its such a gamble gutting one for a PJ.
The Benq is probably one of the easiest of them all to strip. I had trepidations doing it but with an earth strap connected it was easy.Quote:
Everytime I see your pj about a 1000 questions come up but I will try to keep mine to a minimum.
Was it easy to strip the Benq?
The fans need to be permanantly on to keep the box cool. Have you purchased the guide as I said there is more information in the protected forums that will answer all or any questions that you can think up and makes the purchase of the guide more than well worth the $20 USD.Quote:
What temperature have you set for your fans to kick in?
If you have a lookat the wiring diagram you will see that you cannot turn the lamp on unless the fans are switched on and when you switch the lamp off you have to leave the fans running for at least five minutes to keep the LCD cool other wise the heat left in the light box will overheat the LCD and fresnel lense.
I used a UV filter I purchased from Lumenlab and taped it to the inside of the toughened glass behind the back fresnel lense.Quote:
How did you screen the UV from the halide lamp away from the LCD?
I don't know if you mean the shot of the outside of the box toward the front. If it is that is the control panel that I cut out of the front of the frame of the LCD.Quote:
On one of the shots on the side of the box there is a aluminium rail - is that a track for your fresnel adjustment mechanism?
I will post some shots as soon as I can work out how to do it with my camera. In the mean time have a look at Mr Burns post from Lumenlab Forum.Quote:
One last one - can you post some screen shots when you can. I can only imagine how good it must be.
