I can't believe I've been a member here almost from the begining and I'm now just starting my first build. Sure, I build smaller psone projectors but this is big one. I've been just too damn scared to mess anything up.
I'm a real chicken----! Well I just finished my sled. It's a Dell 1503fp controller and a Gateway (Samsung) 15" LCD. No need to go into details, you guys already know what you're doing. I just sit here in utter amazement in the things you guys can do. My hat off and humble bow to all of you.

Last pic!

You aren't looking too shabby there yourself. My frames are a far cry from those ones you made!

Your confusing me a bit. Are you saying you bought a dell 1503 lcd monitor and the lcd panel inside is a samsung panel or you are using only the controller from the monitor and bought another lcd panel which would mean you busted your dell 1503 lcd .

Thanks Nick, I did this all day Sunday (start to finish) borrowed ideas from everyone and made it up as I went along. I really got to learn to plan better.

Dracul, this is the link to how I found out about these LVDS Screen Controllers.

LVDS Controller

I'm no expert at this stuff at all. I only read alot and am willing to experiment.

Well, I'm Getting there!

Well done..it must feel good to get to see the picture for the first time..and it's looking good

Hey great job! I think outside of Brain & Lustra, I may hold the title of member who's been here the longest I finished my first build not long ago (I had to pry the money for the lcd out of my wife's hands!)

Anyway, your PJ is looking great - the proof is in the projection!

Looks very good, nice and bright! Lets see how it looks inside.

What type of bulb, balleast etc... did you use. It looks pretty good. Have any more pics of the semi-complete projo?

Thanks for the all the comments - I'm humbled. You're absolutely right, it's an incredible feeling to see it working after all this planning and such. I don't care what anyone says DIY will never die.
