Four and Twenty 0 Posted January 6, 2006 I am building a DIY LCD Projector. I am trying to find a 15 inch LCD monitor with DVI Input and a resolution of 1280 x 1024 or better. I would prefer 1600 x 1200. It is hard to find an lcd that small with that resolution and DVI input. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Go with a 17 inch monitor. I don't believe that a 15 inch monitor is capable of that resolution. The cost is not all that different. Share this post Link to post
Four and Twenty 0 Posted January 6, 2006 well the problem is that i am going to be using an overhead projector for the project. The staging area on a standard overhead projector is 11.25" x 11.25" the width of a 15" LCD is about 11.25" so that is a perfect fit the width of a 17" LCD is almost 13" so the 17" would end up overhaning. Unless I was able to modify the projector to change its focal point to be a bit further away so that it would capture the whole screen as an image. Shitty thing is that even a 1600 x 1200 res if I could get it to work would still not be HDTV resolution (1080i = 1920 x 1080) Sharp makes an LCD with DVI input which would be fine for playing DVD since the resolution of DVD is 720x480. I really want to get this for my projector setup aswell. http://www.autumnwave.com/product/product_info_2.php You see the dream is to build this projector with a computer attached to play DVD's TV etc really freaking big. I have computers for the task. All I need is a good 4000+ lumen projector, an LCD screen, and a DVI card. Share this post Link to post
