The trouble with hidef tv's is that they run with encrypted hdmi; so you can't have anything outside the tv that 'reads' the picture in order to figure out what colour to make the border...alternative is using analog video, which is shit.
well what im considering this for is a computer monitor...not a tv...however it is a 25 inch 1900x1200 so it will be used as a tv aswell. it has the analog conections i think...
why are analog shit? i mean youre using their signal to LEDS...quality doesnt matter much especially when you shine light on the wall...does it?
Ambilight is built into the tv - and would be very hard to reproduce in any other hidef as a retrofit.
As a computer monitor, the computer does all the computation and outputs to bars or individual leds (quite easily) but you need some electronics experience. It's a hardware-software package. It is available, just not a drop-in module. Difference between analog and digital is night and day once you get into hidef connections. You're running 3-20 channels of led, and they are digital pwm.
The Philips ambilight comcept is a bit complex for sure.
But I imagine this video here it's not the same case. Since the author of this video doesn't want to reveal what's in the back of the monitor, I would guess he has another monitor or projector of some kind simply turned to the wall. Any simple 2x VGA Out video card can do that.
i thought of that too but it would be such a waste of time hahah and money and everything else.
since i plan on doing eyefinity this whole thing kinda went out the window...to expensive to time consuming and feel like it will be somehting that in time will anoy more than entertain. otherwise this feeature would be in ALOT more tvs by now.
This technically only works playing on a comp because of the divx script right?
I want to make one that works with my plasma but not sure how to go about it. The computer one I could do. But one that could work with basically any TV is what I want. Something that can process the signal from the hdmi port or the a/v cable or something maybe. Not sure.
I don't see a way to change it to english. I'll keep watching to see what people come up with I suppose. And maybe figure out my own solution eventually.
Magnifique!

@frollard thank you!
i honestly dont know enough about these to even think about building one although i wish i did.
i like the idea of it...however if its not a simple plug and play solution it kills my interest.
