ok i haeb a mh400u bulb and a salvina bulb muach smaller but arc is still at same palce can't adjust anymore arc does star in middle but the middle of the arc is about 10mm out.

lences are prolly a bit out and gaps will be out a fair bit eg 25mm and 20mm.

pluged in my tv box (cheap ebay one) i get no signal so i plug in the antena and it says can not support his resulation on the screen. and way the blue/grayish screen taht dispalsy no signal teh corners are VERY bad what should i do?

get acabniet maker to make a box for me or at least cut me one and het him to router out 2m of timer with 20 and 15mm gaps so i can make a frame?

here is pic
is anight pic so it bad but u get teh idea

Make sure the grooves of your fresnels are facing each other.

and it looks like you might have the fresnels reversed, make sure the 220 is closest to the bulb.... and check that the bulb is the correct distance from the rear fresnel...that pic looks like mine when the rear is too far away from the bulb

thank the pic is not blury at all its just it was abight pic and the text was moving ill chck lamp distances. tge frenzals should be correct as i took the one marked as teh rear one and clamped it stright 2 the lexan

it is 230mm away fron bulb will moving it make 10mm make it that much better

ok i adjusted to 220mm tested it and still same prob could. but there is sort of a rong of light in teh dark see the pics

You really need to hold your camera steady when taking pics.
Was there any improvement at all? Can you take a pic of the back of your triplet to see if there is any spillage? Try moving the triplet closer or further away from thew LCD to see if you can get a full screen. It will be out of focus but it may tell us where the problem may be. A pic of the inside of the box may help as well.

Also, and this was mentioned earlier, did you check to make sure that your fresnel grooves are facing the right direction?

also, my arc/fresnel distance is actully about 8" for best eveness of light, try moving the bulb closer a little
to summarize:
1) double check to make sure the fresnels are in the correct order(even if you're positive they're right ;-)
2) make sure the grooves face each other
3) move the bulb both closer and further to the fresnel (center of the bulb may get to 8" close to the fresnel, depends on size of preojection)

set the camera down on a book or something solid and just press down on the shutter. might help the picture

will sit it on top of pj and take pics.
the pictur eis not blury as pic it it is it took pic in night mode and text was scrolling.
