more LCD/FRESNEL Module....

Fresnel is sandwich with LEXAN + Fresnel + 1/4 Birch Wood + Fresnel + LCD Holder Frame + LCD.

PRO :
Adjustable Fresnel
Easy to Clean the Fresnel groove facing inside, not expose to dust.
Fresnel never get bend.


CONS:

WHERE did you get that 395mm Fresnel? I want to know, I think I need one for the triplets I just bought! PS, your pictures look great!

P.P.S. Those rods, those were my idea!!! That's what I have been planning on doing! I'm planning on a highly modular, adjustable desing aswell. If mine works the way I want it to, EVERYTHING will be adjustable with teh turn of a wrench.

Triplet Module ... is PRO LENS READY....

Keystoning, Lens Adjustment

TIP - make the triplet adjustable and let the triplet open no obstruction... it make the picture brighter...

TIP - make LCD & LIGHT Module Adjustable....

Maybe I should have saved some money and went 17", that looks GREAT!

I thought you used a fresnel with a fl of 395mm. Sorry for the question, but great work. You came up with some neat ideas.

To Jazzcool, I have never seen a 395mm FL frenznel at 3dlens. Do you have to ask them for it, or is this a different place? I just orded two and I would rather have a 395mm than a 550mm They do list a 395mm x 395mm in size but the FL they list is 220mm,330mm or 550mm. Do they realy have more FL than they list? Thanks

Sorry for the confussion what i mean is



395MM is the size of the Fresnel not the FL.

JZ great pictures I,m working towards my 17" PJ you my have put it in your earlier post that I have'nt read but I assuming your useing the standard projector lens how far is your PJ from your screen and how big is your image.

Thanks

Now is it me, or is that picture REVERSED?

To Jazzkool: Do you like the home depot lamp better than the one in your first PJ?

Yes I'm using LL standard Len, Rough estimate distance and size

10 - 11 feet distance
8 x 10 - size

But i will measure it tonight to be accurate..

My 1st PJ is 2.5" LCD
Home Depot BULB is much brigther than LL-Bulb ... sad to say...


sample of 2.5 LED Power

How do you know this Jazzkool, have you compared them?

I assume thats the Philips MH400/U bulb from Home Depot, it has a color temp of 4000K, how do your colors look...I mean in real life.

Edit:
I have a Samsung 730BF (4ms) monitor I'm intending to use, I just hope it has more contrast than the BenQ 567sV2 in my 15" projector, though yours looks magnificent in those pictures.

nice

JAZZKOOL_2005:

please post more images of adjust fresnel/LCD and light module.
Thx.

Can I get that measurement? I have the exact same LCD, I was going to wait for the PRO lens but that image rocks. Keep up the good work.

As you requested....

one more pic from 5th element

This monitor is on sale here: http://www.legendmicro.com/store/more_info...product_ID=3425

219+15 s/h = 234.

refurbished, but comes with 90 days warranty from SAMSUNG. Anyone have experience with this company?

Hey JazzKool, sorry I know this post is from a little while ago but I was wondering about how the keystone is going to work could you show a picture about how it is going to angle. I have mine built and it looks really good however there always seems to be just a little more you think you can do you know!? I am thinking that the clarity and brightness may be suffering due to inproper alignment/ flexing of fresnels. just curious about your design.
Thanks

I dont use KEYSTONE method, I just move the LENS up or down.

I assume you mean the triplet lens. I dont understand how you can do that with a standard LL triplet since the diameter is so small. If you move the lens up the arc is no longer passing through the lens and you get a much darker image. I would think this lens shift would be excellent with the Pro lens which has a 100mm clear diameter.

how are you securing the lcd to the frame underneath the flat cable board that is attached to the lcd?

I ask this because the flat brown flex cables are attached to the bottom of the lcd all along the length of the lcd. you dont want the lcd resting on the flat cables. Do you have a tighter shot of how the lcd is mounted on the frame from the front ?

JazzCool:

What type of reflector are you using here? Where did you get it from?

Thanks..JRF

lol it looks good but the picture IS reversed!!! also whats with the black line running through the center...

I like that reflector, what did it come out of? and where did you get it?
