FAQ


How much does it cost to build a projector?

Depending on what kind of setup you want it ranges from $200 to $1000.

How does a projector work?

Take a look at the theory page and you will see how the different parts of the projector work.

Where do I get the parts to make one?

There is a big list of links where you can find different parts you need on the parts page also search Ebay and google and you can find some useful things.

Is it hard to build a projector?

Actually it was alot easier than I thought it was going to be, after I read all the info on how they work and got all my parts it only took me about 12 hours to build my first working model.

How big is the projected image?

Right now mine is 8 feet wide but you can go bigger you just need a brighter light.

How big is the projector?

My first one is 4 feet long 15" tall and 15" wide but as soon as I can find a smaller light and smaller LCD panel I hope to have a small projector I could hang from the ceiling.

What does the projected image look like?

It really depends on how bright the light is and what resolution your LCD is, but on my setup I cant complain it is excellent quality I could watch it all the time.

I dont want to spend much and dont want to build anything what do I do?

Well you can get an overhead projector on ebay and put an LCD projection panel on top of that and you got a projector but keep in mind those shine alot of light on the ceiling and light up a room that is why I made an enclosure.

Can I buy one from you?

Soon, when I find the parts to make small high quality projectors I will start selling them for alot less than you can goto the store and get one.

If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at Highvoltage92@hotmail.com
