the next to do is redesign projector-box and fine adjusting the lens.

but at the time , i'm very busy again (exam-period)

Wow, very impressive. Nice movie selections too.

[testomat]

;D thx
it's not over - the hardest part is the fine adjusting of the lens !
- the greatest thing is that the power leds have a high life cycle (above 50.000h for example : you can run the projector non-stop for more than 5 years ) and the low power consumption.

[abercrab]

So the comments/questions I have now are.

1. Are you keeping detailed plans so you can send them to me? Setting up something like that in my living room would be sweet.

2. If you're this good with audio as visual, you should have a mic built for yourself in no time.

Looks very impressive Testomat
Is working?
Also it's a big screen for such a low resouloution
Tell us more...I might get jealous

[testomat]

Hehe, i'm done with the exam in this semester . Now i have more time to play qw ;D

Sry dude, that it takes so long to respond your tricky second question btw

the first one : no problem, i send your a list of the equipment, that you need to build your own projector.

the second one : hehe, that's right. i would build a mic, but the problem is the size thats wouldn't be a handy selfmade mic.

the native resolution of 1024x768 px , its enough to watch movies in DVD- quality (Pal has a resolution of 720×576 px , NTSC has a 720×480px resolution). your are all right that is not enough for HD-Ready (1280×720 px) or Full-HD (1920×1080 px).

[strontiumdog]

It's a nice looking setup Testomat
Can you adjust the resolution?
and some nice shots also ;D
Btw is it a canvas screen or something else
and what is the projection unit?

Hey testomat

Would you mind sending me the details how to build it aswell?
Or maybe Abercrab could? If he has got them from you by now?

Could be fun to try build one self

Omg this looks really awesome!!

If i`ll trie to build something like that, my house will be burned down... I`m such a morron with electricitie!!

[abercrab]

Sorry blue, I don't have anything. I haven't seen Testie in quite awhile. I saw he was on at least for a second a few days ago. I imagine school has got him tied up.

[testomat]

@ blue: sry dude, i was a long time away.
but sunday night i'm going to post my new upgrade (100 watt led)...

and the next feature is to set it up for full-hd beamer (1920x1080)

That's fantastic testomat. If I tried to make anything like that I'd probably burn the house down.

Love the film choice too
