hi im building my projector and was wandering what would be the best way to mount my lcd
Full Version: Best way to mount the lcd
Well, for starters, you're going to need an FFC extension, since your monitor has an FFC issue.
Once that's done, I would build a frame that holds the LCD and allows the edge connectors to be accessed. The easiest way to do this is generally to re-use the LCD frame that it came with, and mount that to a "sled"

If you still have the metal/plastic frame that the LCD came in, I'd recommend that you re-insert the LCD back in the frame after modding it so that light will pass through the LCD. Check out my PLOG for an example on how this is done.
Something else you might consider doing is to reinforce those FFCs with either Silicone II or maybe clear packing tape. The FFCs are really fragile and I'd hate to see you damage them. Google: site:lumenlab.com reinforce FFC
Here are some examples on how to create a frame for your LCD:
