A Practical Guide to DIY LCD Projectors

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-you-can dept.

Compu486 writes "Inventgeek.com has a new article entitled "A practical guide to DIY Home Projection". The guide covers the basic theory behind projection and provides a step by step guide for a "Practical" DIY LCD Projector. Although this topic has been covered before, the perspective they offer is refreshing."

  1. Not a good field for DIY by Arthur+B. · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't really get why one would want DIY here... Having a video-projector, say for home-cinema sake or gaming is mostly about quality of the picture. Apart from the sake of learning I'd rather buy one. Oh, and not a LCD one, at least a DSP. Although laser projection tech has been around for some time now, I'm really surprised that it's not used. Although sounds like a feasible DIY project.

    My wife will accept one in the living room.

    Otherwise this is just another "Overhead projectors with LCD panels make big ugly projectors that you cannot use anywhere but a darkened room" story.

  3. DIY? by WhatAmIDoingHere · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How is this a "do it yourself" project? You bought an overhead projector. You bought the LCD display that was made to go on overhead projectors. You bought a screen.

    The only DIY here was "Make a box with a window in it" and that's not really a "Do it yourself LCD projector" now is it?
