HI, i am starting to build my first projector, and i bought from ebay a samsung 150mp lcd.
It comes with the polarizer and AG removed.
The syncmaster 150MP has built in tuner, and picture in picture.
Unfortunately, some connections of the LCD are broken and i see just vertical stripes.

Can i try to find a cheap LCD and use the samsung electronics (tuner-video in)?
What tips can you give to find a good As-IS LCD in ebay?
At this stage i am cheap, i have both fresnels and the front lens, with a 400w MH bulb with the balast.
I want to see a image to know if i can build a good projector.

Thanks!!

You would have to use the EXACT same Lcd that is currently being used. The Lcd itself will have the model # on it.

For cheap Lcd's do a search for Lcd's on Ebay with bad backlights. Then check the compatible monitor list to see if it's ffc free.
