Systm - Episode 68 - Build a 1080p HD Projector

[steffoncharles]

where did u guyzz buy d lcd screen wit the inputs

[cuginetycoon]

this video renders DIY useless the Kit cost more than A small one , DE DE DE...

[cuginetycoon]

I wonder how many times that one dude repeats , the other guy...lol

[zacharyfmtaylor]

the quality of the video you projected is awful.

[bobhaha]

So stupid.... Just put the screen on an over head projector and your done.

[casperround]

@bobhaha No i wouldnt do that if I where you, what can happen is when you place it on the over head projector and turn it on it can mealt the Lcd screen after about 40 seccond's

[bobhaha]

@casperround Highly doubt that.... It's used for thin plastic sheets, plus needs to be cool enough for peoples hands to touch it.

[casperround]

@bobhaha Well it is true as it has happend to me. and it all depend's on what typ of buld the over head projector uses and what typ the lcd screen is

[RushOrbit]

9:06 Epic laugh

[WTFSUICIDE]

boreing



[asdffdsa1234]

I made a 1080p projector, was total crap.. I ended up buying a epson 705hd for $600 bucks and a high gain screen.. the projector was already bright, when I added the screen it doubled the brightness.. its 720p, but I honestly can't tell much of a difference in that and 1080.. dont waste your money and time on this crap here.

[SaintBam]

Learn to fast forward !

[000Virtual]

Thats Right lamp life for that kit is great

[helloamill]

why spend 500 when u can spen 600 hundread on 3d one

[novachevyguy]

where's the kit???? not on the website...

[TheSliekaStyle]

@novachevyguy

ķit is nowere. Lumenlab shop is down!

[phartattack]

MZ-HANDYMAN TIP: stick a 1/8" drill bit in the slot to measure it's width.

[drudigger]

ok i am so lost can u dumb it dwn for me??

[primotote]

please tell me the name of the movie playing in the back, thanks, happy new year.

[ExclamationMark046]

32:52 He talks like the Joker off The Dark Night :)

Btw @CubeLuda If you dont see it running how do you know the quality of the end result?

[mikeccuk2006]

need more lamps. more brightness

[TheSliekaStyle]

@mikeccuk2006

You have no idea how works fresnel lense? There can be only one lamp.

[BatixProductionsTE]

You should have used a replacement lamp for theatre and movie set lights. They are quartz halogens, you can get daylight balanced bulbs, and they are 575 typically. So yeah....they're pretty effing bright

[CubeLuda]

Wow, that is some long ass work for such lowsly looking light display. Srsly? Not worth it. To big, to much money, and the end result was... geh.

I would have more luck on ebay if I had 500 bucks. What pisses me off is, they never actually showed it working. (that's right viewers, don't watch it till the end like I did. Skip right to the end. They stand in front of it for like 10 seconds, and the clip ends. Pfft.)

[ComradeMagnum]

Could you use a bunch of LEDs instead of that bulb?

[EmpireLS56KW]

This video is brilliant a +10 score diy video projectors. The lamps are ridiculous overpriced on some model projectors that get used often and you have to be rich and shameless to own a +10grand projector. Xenon lamps for cinemas have short service life and they cost a damn sight more so let’s forget about that.

[toddshere]

Great show but wish it was condensed perhaps cut out table saw cutting and measuring its taking forever to load ,if a person cant cut wood on their own they dont need to be making anything !

[stinkyhamster111]

lol pebkac keyboard and user ROFLMFAO

[juicebox451]

Can you use a smaller screen, say from an iPhone, and make this thing way smaller? It seems like the size comes from the fact that your flat panel is so large. You could also save a ton of money by buying a smaller triplet, because you'd need less coverage. I would also think that using a bulb meant for a 16mm projector would save energy and space as well (also 5600K). This wouldn't really work if you were trying to project on a 20ft wall, but then you'd probably have enough $ to buy a TV.

[EmpireLS56KW]

I can hardly see the image! Its ether the video camera your using or the video projector has poor light level?

[jckrads]

you can use a xbox 360 power supply

[buzzyro]

does anyone know where the list is of the LCD's that DO work? thanks

[emorjon2]

how can i get this channel in my TV in sweden? like the program :D

[TheNeoSwoosh]

I'd slap a guy silly if im cuttin with the table saw and he goes n pulls on it

[jlopez0o]

Ok then it doesn't save me money, it wastes more energy.. Umm I would say go **** ur self but send I'm 13 and I don't say much bad words I'm just gonna say ur no help at all

[Cokecanninja]

If that bulb gets so hot, why not just use a 4 by 4 array of CFL's? It would use 240 fewer watts, and not be as hot.

[humbert0acevedo]

LOL, he farted 21:40

[TheMachine2020]

@humbert0acevedo

This is from da camera man (;

[number1barber]

wow that is long winded. two easy ways to do. 1. buy a long shelf from a diy store and pay a couple of pound for extra cuts to get the shelf cut into 4 sides and two ends. cost £10 kids telescope for the lens £5 lcd off a psone £5 halogen lamp £5 heat paint £5 pc fans £5 cost £35 build time2 hours. parts to upgrade for better quality halide lamp £50-£80 hd lcd £100 lumenlab used to sell the kits but unsure if they still do. or for a 30min build lookup overhead projector

[energysmartpanelsys1]

please refer to Davil Calkin.

I would like to talk to you about hd projectors. We will be developing a 5 1/2 acre themepark in Jackson, Ms. And we are looking to install several 4' X 8' (80-100 THROUGHT OUT THE PROPERTY. Plus we will have several 16' x24' and one large outdoor unit that need to be 24' x 40' screen. Please call if possible 1-601-291-8203.

I have a thought of taking a single bulb that can work 3 different shots at the same time using three different LCD panels.

[shanefenton1]

Funny @ 38:05 using canned air when there's an air compressor sitting on the floor.

[IllegalMavamaarten]

@shanefenton1 I didn't notice that lol :D

[raizvioleta]

No creo que Norton sea como el anti-virus :)

buen programa!!

[marcan42]

The ballast is blocking the light from the bulb (top right corner of the screen). You should've mounted it further behind the bulb!

[MrMaxtilt]

Oh shit that was excruciating, and never really explained the electronics.

[rmahabir]

Greetings from Home Vu Projectors. Not a bad video, some useful information. The only thing I dont like about LCD is the heat produced and the fans required to cool them. Our new LED projectors run much cooler, and can input 2 HDMI devices. Compared to LCD, they dont get hot at all. 50,000 hour lamp. Cool stuff.

[mitchl847]

If you are going to spend money, you may as well spend a little more and get something that you can see

[quad2004]

luminlab don't sell kits now a days, I built a PJ Years ago from there and is still up and running, I will be upgrading it maby this summer to a new box besign. :)

[langevin07]

The image look so dark.A got a epson S5projector 1080i brand new for 550$ 2 year ago.Fast and furious look way better on my unit.

[thedtsone]

You guys don't give a uck about any of these little text comments hu? Ha, guess I wouldn't either.

[GarrettBMXes]

just use a regular overhead projector and throw the LCD panel on that, it works GREAT! :D

[nebeednis]

If I had so meny tools, I can make such box in 1,5h. They are so slow!

[computerguygeek]

Well, they are explaining it as they go...

[gros21]

ive built a few lumen lab jobs.

no u cant get a full 1080p pj for under 2k, all ones that state that just upsacle.

a 1080 moniter is expensive $400 us no for a 15.4" lcd and controller which has 2 HDMI ports standard.

dirt will make a difference it just deoends were dirt it.

also people are also stripping the anti glare so its much more crisp.

[pianomatteo]

Yea man, you can find probably 20 different brands that have a 21" 1080p monitor for about 220 bucks lol. dunno where you get your monitors

[TheUnNerved]

@pianomatteo a 21" monitor would make a HUGE PJ... the smaller the better.

[81minuten]

he makes a mistake: lcd lens

[slickwrick01]

cant beleive i spend all this time watching this bs....on the other hand did anybody notice that the fat bald man in red didnt do shit,or helped in any way besides pusing the wood through the cutter,,,,,lmfao

[bansheeboi2000]

he said they dont have a mill but theres a drill press right there put a router bit in there and go to town

[60spaure]

41 min vid! geez

[FreeReconXBL]

If they paid over $500 on the LCD only and spending $700 total, it would be cheaper just to go on eBay or CraigsList to get a nice 720p or 1080p.........

[Discofreestyle]

It's the lamp life that makes the difference. 20,000hrs for £30 as opposed to around £300 for a commercial replacement lamp which lasts a tenth of the time.

[johny344]

I think this would be a good project if you already had most of the parts to hand, like an old lcd screen and camera lense.

[suxatguitar1]

A lcd isn't $500... You can get a good lcd monitor for like $200

[braingrenade]

I disagree with how clean the lenses have to be. True that way to much dirt and junk may reduce the image. But I've done my own experiments with this and the focal point of the light is not at the lens so there for the dirt won't be in focus and won't matter. Anybody who has a projector try this. Take a piece of string and hold it infront of the lens and see how much makes a difference. now imagine a piece of fuzz or spec of dirt.

[letterphase]

tooooooooooooooooooooooooo dim

[jackbond64]

thats so dim, i can barely see it, but i know ive seen these diy projectors with a lot more lumens than that

[warlockboyburns]

clear as mud

[TheRealPlutoniumBoss]

That air gap was not the best idea. It allows dust to enter and accumulate, and also blowing the hot air out the front could actually make the plastic melt faster.

Filtered vent holes on both sides would be better. Big ones.

[tardisomga]

i made a projector for my ipod with a camera lens, although it falls apart :( lol.

[quantezz]

I want to know is it possible for me to make a projector using my old sharp (VL-A10) LCD Viewcam????

[t0nito]

I've done one thanks to lumenlab's members help, it's not an 1080p though, I used a 17" panel 1280x1024 res. At least I can watch 720p movies in it's native resolution. My bulb is just like the one that guy showed.

[odinata]

wow! no fence on that table saw. Do you like your fingers?

[phartattack]

@odinata There is a fence you meant tosay no GUARD... No one uses the guards anyway!

[blake18]

It's not hard to build one, like they were saying. I built my own HD projector, and I freaking LOVE it. I have built several actually. It's by far the most fun I have ever had building something. :)

[1981z28camaro]

is it brighter than this projector? lol

I'm surprised they didn't even comment on how not bright it was...

What lumen bulb did you use?

[Finstone]

so after all this work, you get a back & white projector, coz that what it looks like?

[rx7on21s]

wow thats bad, you must not of alligned the bulb correctly. i made my own diy 720p projector out of a old overhead projector and it was way brighter using a 360 watt halogen. trust me this projector, with the 250-400watt metal halide bulb should be way, way brighter than the brightest tv\projector out.

[leosag]

well then that sucks :)

[leosag]

you guys didn't show the final circuit. i wonder if it gets out of focus when you move it forward and backward!?

[tardisomga]

TOO BAD I FRICKIN KICKED YOUR UGLY FACE! and you ran or teleported or whatever...
