..............I may have to buy a 360 now..........By the way, your results are AWESOME!!! I should have my projector built by the end of next week, and I can only hope it is at least half as good as yours. I can't wait!!!!!!

lol it will be! have confidence! and enjoy it!

Oh my gosh... Oblivion looks like such an awsome game! Beautiful graphics! Any game where you get to ride a horse is an instant hit with me! (except dynasty warriors...)

Looks like a great game, and it looks great on your projector! Is that the PC or Xbox 360 version?

Even this one?

EEK! NEVER!

Forgot to say, any game that involves barbie is a garenteed disaster!

Pretty much.

ChristmasGT, with those Xbox 360 pics, it looks like you don't have the "black crush" darkness problem common to our projectors.

Are you using component out or the VGA cable (or something else) with the 360?

I browsed through your plog, but couldn't find what you used. BTW, I live in Lee's Summit.

WOOOAA you're like 3 miles from my house, I still need decent frames for my projector so that I can ceiling mount it, the ones I have are absolute junk.

I'm running on the Xbox 360 with the VGA cable, And when I do get my computer hooked up to it, I'd really really hate too adjust the colors with the video card, too me the projector should be able to be fully capable of doing everything brightness / color wise through the LCD Panel Itself, I believe I've achieved that goal


Chad if your ever up for a good talk PM me, I can show you the projector in person, there are some Ideas / designs I wanna work out, I really need frames though and keystone adjustment, something i'm going to have to work out very soon.



And oh yeah! I'm absolutely HONORED to be apart of the Hall of Fame thread! thanks for making that possible everyone!

Alright, the proceeding pictures are with Mothers Polish Applied to the A/G side of the screen

(i'm too chick to try removing the A/G)

Check out the focus in the word RUF in the upper corner, also the camera is making the images a tadd bit TOO bright washing them out some, and I've been trying to figure out how to control it to no avail, so the images are a tadd darker (but much much MUCH more colorful)


Now:




Before:

Good Example of Colors and Sharpness:



Now



Before (this was on the vinyl pice which was giving great colors, but unkown gain)

Heres a couple more, again, 100% better in person!

Heres a head on view, corners more lit up, I really wish I was ceiling mounted, then the pics would be GGGREEAAT

Whoa, is that with the AG stripped off?

Nope, well, Kinda I guess, Its with mothers Polish Applied about a dozen times to the AG Side of the LCD.

Wonderfull that your results turned out as they did Christmas. This is to others...bear in mind that Christmas still has A/G on his panel plus the TAC underneath it. And all he did was made the rough texture of the A/G extremely smooth to a gleam and close to a glass reflection. By doing this he helped his light to pass through easier without the diffuseness of the A/G. Especially at a dozen times polish, I bet he can see his reflection on it now.

LOL better then that Sim, since my Projector is aimed at my TV I can actually see the image almost fantastically on the AG side of the LCD when its turned on.

LOL

BOO~YA


Upper corner isnt faded at all..word, lower one isnt so dramatic either, Looks fantastic doesnt it?!!?!

Now Halo 2, 720p, oh and BTW, whoever was asking for the main menu of Halo 2 here it is! you can thank the awesomness of "freeze"

Hey man those are awesome! Did you get your issues worked out with your N6? I don't notice any fuzziness....

Updated Pictures with new 550/330 setup

What was you total cost in your projector only (only the components in the box)

-2 wrecked LCDs around the 500 something dollar mark, maybe closer to 600



BTW, small update, I'm going pro lense very soon, so expect new results this week

u're switching to the pro triplet or the pro fresnels cause the triplet i think is the same between LL and DIY....

Hi Chris, i found the site a few days ago and your results page was the first i saw. My head is now going in 6th gear thinking of my first attempt and hoping it will turn out as good as yours. I'm a gamer and have read through your entire plog from 1-40; getting more and more exited .
Its winter hear in Oz and i need a hobby while the water is too bloody cold to enjoy it. I will looking for your guidance through my project because you've shown some great work.

Cant wait to see your latest results.

Im Out

Feeding time kids!

New Pics also at the bottom of previous page!

Very nice results ChristmasGT! Would you mind telling how large your screen is diagonal? And which link game is that in the first screenie? I love link lol

The screen size is around 120" and that link is from Wind Waker (great game)

Wow, very very nice! Great job building it

So were the pics above with the Pro Lense Kit? And is Wind Waker only for gamecube?

Speechless...brightness uniformity looks outstanding, these are the BEST screenshots I have seen as of now with the PRO lens. And knowing it looks better in person blows me away.

Now take away that commercial and lets see some real screenies

You've inspired me too start a 17" Pro set-up, but not for a while as I'm sort of broke...

eh I figured it all out

So, you're now using one 550 and one 330 fresnel from DIY correct? Earlier you said you opted for the DIY long-throw lens too (which I don't see on their site). Is it the 500 modified or the 450 unmodified?

If not perhaps they no longer carry the optic set up you selected. Yet your results were crazy good!

If you're switch to the LL Pro, would you want to consider selling the optics (or a portion of) you've got now?

FYI... Super impressive stuff! You inspired me to purchase the Samsung LCD.

It actually was the 450 unmodded, then the 500 modded, I can't give a fair review of the 500 modded since I didn't ideallistically tune my setup to gear twords it, so i'll keep my mouth shut about it.

as for the 450 unmodded, it really was a great lense, Nice, Bright, but the focus just wasn't there, it always felt fuzzy to me, with the LL Pro all of that goes away, it looks sinisterly good.

LOL I have my 450 lense still, but its dismantled (I used the enormous case for the LL Pro Lense's new home...one day i'll give you pictures of truely how DIY it is.)

LOL btw Noticed you're from MO too, where about? Im in Independence.

Ignore the small black piece on the upper right of the screen...that was a piece of tape, its gone now

I can't get the whole image to fit into the entire right side of the screen, no matter what resolution I put the N6 in, it rather sucks

I'm a St. Louis boy and very, very, VERY jealous of your results.

Are you a Nintendo fanboy GT? I sure hope so...for some odd reason.

Yah, it is a Nintendo IP. Wind waker is a really fun game...but a little easy.

Too Easy, Can't wait for the new Zelda, going to be MUCH harder

Hello ChristmasGT!

Beautiful results! It's very nice.

Just a question about your GameCube. I've seen your screenshots from Zelda and Paper Mario. Which video link do you use between your GC and your projector?

In Europa we have only the composite output. No components. So the quality is not so good...
