DIY video projectors
I am seriously considering an investment of the time, money and energy
required to build a video projector. With a bit of luck and patience it seems quite possible to acquire the required parts for not much more than £200. There are several groups and websites dedicated to this kind of thing, including: http://www.lumenlab.com/ http://www.exclusiv-online.com/shop/index.php?main=main&lang=en&up=0 http://www.hommie.net/ Has anyone here attempted this?

required to build a video projector. Has anyone here attempted this? Try uk.media.dvd and I think there`s a home cinema group as well that will be more likely to have tried... Possibly worth a punt over at avforums too... |

Lamps are very costly and a poor picture would be annoying. Why not try and get a used one from a company that uses them for business presentations - many will be upgrading to newer / smaller / brighter ones. |

But a good one would be nice. Daniele -- Consideration fact * With the robot the grudge which is possible it knocks from most shouting distance. * It is short accurate and it knocks. |

Hi I know this is uk.d-i-y but I really think you are wasting your time, effort and money. For the same price as buying all the bits to build one - and frankly it will be a complete disappointment whatever you do - you could buy a used LCD projector off eBay. Steve |

Steve Its actually very easy, if you dont mind low brightness levels. The old epidiascopes were a black box with the illuminated picture on the back, and a single lens 8" or so in front of it. And thats all thats needed for a basic unit, a screen with as high brightness as poss and a lens. You wont get particularly good light levels and large pics at the same time, but adequate for some tasks. So really it all depends. NT |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember (D.M. Procida) saying something like: I am seriously considering an investment of the time, money and energy required to build a video projector. With a bit of luck and patience it seems quite possible to acquire the required parts for not much more than £200. Simplest method (which I see is covered by one of those sites) is to score a used LCD projection panel off ebay and stick it on an overhead projector of decent output. Such combinations have been used for years in the corporate world and are now being sold off cheap. It's ok if you don't mind a darkened room. I might give it a whirl myself... -- Dave |
