Can I Use a WUXGA Dell Samsung 15" LTN154U1 screen? I am thinking of a 1080P projector build. I just got an 18" E F lens which is huge.

I have a 17" Samsung HDTV also but would hate to lose it and have read that this lens would not cover it.

Have a couple of dead laptops one of which has a 14" screen with a broken backlight but not up to handling 1080P.

Have a 15" HDTV at 786P that I can't find a way of getting out of 3:4 mode but other wise it looks good.

And I have another replacement screen for laptop that I bought on Ebay but never have looked at since.

But this 15" Sasung looks good but doesn't have a flex cable. Would that be hard to replace?

If this will work I will sell everthing else and start.

Simple answer, no not really.

Wuxga screens are used by members including myself. But you have to have a special $350 controller which Minoten got from China in group buys. And he's not doing that anymore.

You can get another controller from a guy in California bu it only supports Sharp Wuxga's not Samsung/Lg phillips/ or any others.

that lens looks plenty big to cover a 17" monitor.. its wider than the pro 500mm triplet.

Has this been confirmed? I remember one person tried a couple non-sharp WUXGAs on a Dobie Huang (the CA guy) G2A. They worked just fine, until he tried 1920x1200 and 1920x1080 which wouldn't work. I tried to get him to troubleshoot his video card before returning the monitors, but he didn't. After he received the Sharp LCD that he had ordered it still didn't work with 1920x#### showing that the problem was with his nVidia video card (not necessarially the screens). After switching to his ATI card it started working...

If you're up to is robmx, I'd buy a G2A controller and see if it works with your monitor. If it does: awesome! If not: buy a sharp WUXGA off eBay (~$250).

Hmm yea you're right.

Any rich guys want to buy a controller and all 4 different Lcd types off Ebay and give it a try ?

I'll take donations to buy all 4 LCDs.. then I'll laugh off with the money and buy a 720p commercial projector

I'd offer to test panels, but I don't know if my ATI card will do 1920x1200 and I couldn't make my nVidia card do it either (I did get it to do 1920x1080 though).

I don't have the WUXGA yet. Saw it on Ebay for $99 no bid.

Do you think this lens will cover a 17" widescreen 16:9? I have a full Samsung 17" HDTV that is am thinking of using.

This lens is 5 1/4" across. It is an 18" EF Spotlight Ednalight. 18" is around 458mm by my measurement.

Got it for $56.60 on Ebay. Looks good, hope it works for this project.
