Ok, so I went to buy a LG L1515s today and got it half way home when I realized it was a LG L1510s. I was slightly paniced so I phoned the guy and he said I could bring it back if it wasn't what and I didn't break it (I love smaller stores)

Long story short the LG L1510s is basicly the exact same as the L1515s inside exsept it's backlight is bigger. It has exactly the same specs too.

Newegg has this monitor listed as an AL1722R. It's the same thing.

Just wanted to add Dell E153FPf to the list. I'm just getting started and the LCD stripping went great. It looks very close to the dell 1504FP, all the connections along the bottom. I shouldn't need FFC, but the control buttons may have to be extended. It's actually a samsung LCD inside. Now I'm debating A/G removal.

has anyone ever stripped the

if it's doable it has s-video in composite in and a pj with a tv tuner built in , please let me know if any has done this one.thanks.TT

Just stripped the AOC LM726 sucessfully. This one needs to be added to the compatible list, if anyone draws one up.

Decent specs (see spec sheet PDF attached).
No FFC issues.
It even has nice control buttons on the front panel that are easy to remove and look like they'll be easy to mount somewhere on the projector case.

Are there any links for stripping this particular one?

I have the option to buy a new VA712.

X2GEN 15" LCD Model Number: MG15VT

I've finished takeing apart an X2GEN 15" LCD.

I'll post pics as soon as I can.

One FFC issue, everything else is a wire cable. The FFC issue is a 16 pin cable and I think the 16 pin x 6 inch FFC cable from Lumenlab will fix that issue.

Easy to take apart, but I haven't tested it yet to see if I messed it up taking it apart. I'll let everyone know soon, but I was very careful, so it should still work.

I've also taken apart a Dell 1503FP. There were two FFCs in it, but they did not seem to be an issue at all as they were connected to the, well, I'm not sure what the board would be called, it's not the VGA board, but another board under that and it connected to the top side of the LCD panel itself. I'll see about getting pics of it as well.

I may decide to not use the X2GEN, although I have it completely apart, maybe I can put it back together. It has one dead pixel in the upper right about 2 inches down and 1 inch from the right side facing the monitor.

ITS NO GOOD

I actually took apart two Dell 1503FP 15" LCDs, one has an FFC issue, the other doesn't.

There is no difference in the model number and the serial number for each are within a run of 50 of each other.

I see no way of telling one from the other without looking inside.

Viewsonic 17" VA721 stripped with no FFC issues. A bit of a pain because of the base, but after some sweat, it came off fine.

some of these have FFC issues. it seems dell changed their design at some point; the one i just opened up has an FFC across one of the corners. don't have a magnifying glass so i can't tell how many pins it is yet. hopefully i'll be able to find a replacement.

I did try to buy the Samsung, however I ran into the same problems as Geno742. While I had two locations relatively close that carried it in stock, one did not ever answer the phone, and the other was selling it over $100 more than the Radio Shack's price.

I liked the idea that a TV has all of the inputs I needed, so I searched on. I found and bought a Phillips 15MF605T from www.refurbdepot.com. Ended up costing $260 with 2-day shipping. It has great specs, including HDTV, and a remote.

I stripped it last Friday. It was really simple. For my first time I thought it would be harder. Lumenlab did not ship my kit in time for me to put it all together over the weekend, so I will be attempting it this next weekend. I will post my results next week, but I have a feeling that this tv will be added to the list.

You can check out the specs from the website, but I will post them next week if all goes well.

On a side note, if this works out, I think I may be building a few more of these (friends and families). Anyway, in my research I have been unable to find 15" lcds that go over 1024X768. Does anybody know of 15" that go higher?

hey guys and gals..i just stripped a:

SCEPTRE 15" LCD MONITOR X5G Komodo VII

I took a chance on it cause i got it for 33.50 off ebay..it had a bad backlight. Got it home today and it stripped away like a dream. It uses regular wires for everything except the circuit board that actually connects to the lcd panel itself (whatever that is called) anyways..there's only one of them along the top and it flips out of the way*. can't wait to get started!

* when i say "flips out of the way" i really mean "is gently and lovingly coerced from directly over the lcd panel".

Heres the link to the SCEPTRE 15" I have. Easily strippable, no FFC issues. Only flex cable at all is from the lcd panel itself to it's little circuit board. Everything else is regular wires and they are easy to get out of the way.

Today I stripped a Norwood Micro 17" widescreen LCD, which I got from CompUSA for $180 after $100 in rebates.

Here are the specifics:

Norwood Micro 17" Widescreen LCD, Model No: HD17A
Resolution: 1280x768
Response: 16ms
Contrast Ratio: 400:1
Inputs: VGA and DVI

It stripped down easily, and has no FFC issues. It only has a row of FFC's along the top edge.

Compatible - Sony MFM-HT75W 17" LCD-TV

contrast- 700:1
response- 16ms (though i heard it is much slower in reality, haven't "truly" tested it yet)

inputs-
DVI with HDCP (very convenient for use with HD set-top box)
Component (supports 480i,p, 720p, 1080i)
S-Video
RCA
Coax (useless if you have set-top box)

HP L1506

Compatible, no FFC issues, strips extremely easy. Wires from LCD FFC board to LCD controller board uses regular wires and is a little longer than the ffc that my Samsung 512n used. Also does have little FFCs on sides just like the 512n (the little tiny ones that just kinda hang there).

450:1 contrast ratio
16ms response time
1024x768
15"


Only down side I see is it has Antiglare on both sides... is a little dimmer than my 512n that has AG on one side. AG removal not attempted yet.

Mtisubishi (Diamond View) DV177 17" - Compatible.

Quite easy to strip, no FFC issues.

1280*1024 @ 75Hz

I have been developing a running spreadsheet and have recorded that a "Benq FP531BL" is listed as not having any FFC issues. Not sure how close that is to what you have. I cannot make any statement on the "LG 1550s" as I have not seen that reported as of yet.
Hope that helps.

I used an LG 1530s 15" monitor for my projector Red-24's Canadian 15" Projector. I would think that the 1550 is not that different.

All,
I used a BENQ FP567S and had no problems (Besides being stupid and tearing an edge connector when I got in a hurry).

Very happy with image. Must be kept below 100 F.

Hello all,

Im from the UK and would like to recommend a definate compatible cheap perfect monitor!!!!

I purchased a Daewoo HL711A from scan.co.uk for only 99 quid (ex vat and shipping)!!!!!!! with the following:

17" TFT LCD (1280 X 1024)
300cd/m²
8 ms
500:1

This is an amazing quality cheap monitor...and whats more it took 10 minutes to strip...and is IDEAL for projector projects... Its almost modular with the whole of the power and video boards stuck in a box on the back, with long (enough) cables to go off to the LCD. The LCD btw is held in place simply with a metal frame, you do not have to remove any cathodes or any backing!!! it literally comes out after u under the frame screws and pop the frame. After 10 mins I have a seperate lighting unit, very workable 17 inch screen and a pre-shielded electronics box!!

(as you can tell im pretty happy about this! I started this project last year before I even new about LL, and managed to kill a 15 inch lcd!)

I would stick a link in so all you UK people could easily purchase em from SCAN.co.uk....but as soon as i got it stripped - they stopped selling them, typical.

anyway no issues whatsoever - excellent example of a monitor to use.

The Daewoo HL711A - COMPATIBLE!

Well put it in the list of strippables lol



X2GEN MG5R4 Black 15" 8ms LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 300:1 Built in Speakers 0.297mm Pixel Pitch





$149 on newegg.com no issues at all. all solid cables.

Does anyone happen to know if this LCD TV is compatible, or if not, if there are any LCDs with the same inputs available for under $200?

Edit: The link appears to redirect to the main site. The model of the LCD is Mag 15MF400T/37B

Although that particular model has not been noted yet other Mag LCD TVs have been reported as being very compatible, easy to strip and with no FFC issues. But...like anything, that can change! It's your coin to flip.
Hope that helps.

Because of the fact that the Belinea 101536 is in the compatible list I bought one for €90,-

But the version I bought is NOT compatible, due to a 90 (ninety) degree ffc issue.

This is about the Belinea 101536 111504 version. I don't know about other versions.

Just stripped a Sony SDM-S74, 17" panel. Fairly easy strip, and it's a 16ms panel with DVI and VGA.

I just strip LG 1550s. Very easy.... need 20 mnutes to strip

No FFC's to speak of

Hi Gang,
I just stripped a ViewEra V151H-B 15" 12ms LCD (No Dead Pixel Guarantee)
Went very well, and fairly easy. 4 Large Ribbons lead off of the circuit board into the LCD, The Video/Power card attached via tiny 6pin plugs with all wiring, One very long FCC cable leading from the Video Board to the Button Control panel. The Circuit board with the 4 Large ribbons leading into the LCD is located at the top of the image or top of the LCD. I tested this monitor with my XBOX 360 and Computer, It performed wonderfully, the display is beautiful. The No Dead Pixel Guarantee is what tempted me to try it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16824138046. I am working on a guide.

I stripped the Famous Brand V1721DB and it went well. I currently have it running in my PJ, and it looks pretty good. Right now only $99.99 from tigerdirect after rebate.

It does have an ffc, but it is rather long and pretty flexible.

I stripped the Samsung 740BF.
Very easy. No ffc issues.
But the AG removal was a disaster (polarizer got out together with ag).
I am waiting for polarizer replacement (Super high contrast from polarization.com)

Be aware ! Stripped the same model and it had a FFC Issue.

Add Gateway FPD1520 to the list. No FFC issues. There are pictures of the disassembly process in my plog.

Just stripped a samsung 151s. stripped easily but ---ffc issues-it is only 1 inch long, l shaped. Think I'll put it back together and keep shopping.

ViewEra V172HD 17" LCD is fine. quite easy strip and no bad ffc's! go for it. i'll try to post a quick strip guide though simply looking at other strip guides will prolly give you enough info to strip this one.

strip guide now located HERE

I just received a Hanns-G monitor.
I ordered the JC151A for $140 total new from TigerDirect.com including shipping.
It is 1024x768, 600:1, 12ms, 16.2m
It does have a FFC issue - I have ordered a 16 and 18 pin FFC extension and will see if it works.
I don't know if the HU171D has this same problem.
Thought I'd post this info anyway since I have not seen any reference to Hanns-G until now.
