this is very cool. Good Luck.
also, to anyone who disses this, why do you even read the how-to sections on Engadget? almost everything that is on it can be done for you or bought for some amount. So why get mad at this when you really just wasted your life reading it? Just don't knock the hard work of others, ok?]]>Nov 1st 2006 6:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 1st 2006 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Quite interesting]]>Nov 1st 2006 7:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 1st 2006 7:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 1st 2006 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 1st 2006 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/
That is why "real" LCD projectors use dichroic mirrors and three microdisplays. The RGB subpixels overlap and reduce the screen door effect.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 1:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/
And for everybody who has an issue with the length of the projector, I thought this was a hacker site. If there is a problem, work out a solution. For example, it should be possible to cut the length in half (at the expense of added height), by placing the light and lcd screen in an upper portion of the box, and using a mirror to reflect the light onto a fresnel in a lower portion of the box. Or possibly even directly onto the projection lens.
Assuming the lenses are of decent quality, the weak part of most diy projectors is the light source. It will be interesting to see if this machine really can produce a noticable HD display.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 2nd 2006 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 2nd 2006 4:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 2nd 2006 12:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/
You guys remind me of nudists. Once they decide they're going naked, practicality be damned. It could be 60 degrees outside, overcast, and windy but damnit they're gonna be naked and they're gonna play some volleyball while they're at it. Logic dictates that a sunburned dork is a bad thing but it doesn't matter to them.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 2nd 2006 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 2nd 2006 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/
This isn't the "Already made projector, just plug it in" thread.]]>Nov 2nd 2006 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/
Because it's fun. I love DIY projects for both the end result and the experience equally. There was no way I was letting someone else soldering a mod-chip in my Xbox or fiddling with the innards of my guitar pedals.]]>Nov 3rd 2006 2:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Nov 6th 2006 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/
Does anyone know of a retail projector that uses a lamp that is any cheaper?]]>Nov 15th 2006 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/01/how-to-build-your-own-hd-projector-part-3/Not as fun/cool as this though.]]>Nov 23rd 2006 1:20AM
