V7 Videoseven L15PS is the same monitor as CMV CT-529A. It is very good, but out of production. YOu may still find one for less than €200 in Germany.

Just wondering if anyone had stripped a Dell 15" 1503FP for DIY?
Supposed to have good enough numbers (XGA res., 25ms, 300:1).

Thanks.

Hello

Been following this forum for some time know... Wealth of knowledge here.

I have just purchased a faulty ViewSonic VE500 off eBay for £30 including delivery.
Risky I know as it may not be just the Back light that is faulty BUT after testing with a light behind I can't see any Dead pixels and the LCD looks Good.

I understand that some Panels arn't DIY friendly because of the Driver board in the way and such..

I think this one IM(n00b)HO is though!!!

Update for the compatible monitor list

Has anyone knowledge about the newest monitors which are compatible for the diy projector? I have tried Compaq TFT 450, but it has a bad FFC issue, so i need another monitor. Are the all LG models compatible and are the all Samsung models, example Samsung syncmaster 570B? Tom's hardware list for compatible monitors are some little too old monitors, even second hanc monitors are newer and
i'm interested if someone has a newer list.

Hey all first post!


OK I tried an IC power 15" from walmart. Easy stip however is NOT suitable due to cable length.

Viewsonic VE150MB IS NOT suitable due to cable length

Viewsonic VG160 WILL work and stripping wasnt bad.

LG 1752S-FB Very easy strip and AG removal. No FCC issues. 1400:1 Contrast and 4ms grey to grey response. Great monitor!

[makaveli956]

can you use a mobile car 10.4 tft lcd monitor be used to make a projection tv

 

[piggles]

In my experience they have annoying FCC issues... be careful. Also the specs are usually way worse than you'd hope.

 

[kennethjp]

Has anyone tried to strip the sgi gfx 1600sw monitor? The specs on this monitor is amazing. Would like to know if it's usuable before buying.

 

[digitalstore]

hi kennethjp,

No.

But I have tried the one is "videoseven 19 widescreen monitor". It's reviews are good and specifications are also comfortable.
