Tv Projector Plans.Build a video projector that will work as well as any one of the brand name LCD video projectors with TV projector plans...

Why use an LCD projector over a standard CRT/TV frensnel lens magnified projector? These types of projectors are large and heavy, and if you ever tried to make one, you will have found out that the picture quality is usually poor regardless of the type and size of lenses used.

Even if the room is pitch black! The light source from a standard TV is just not strong enough to give you a clear, bright picture. If you try and use a different light source, you'll find that the glass screen of the TV causes enough of a glare to overshadow the picture and you wind up not seeing anything.

You can get anti glare polarizing shields for a standard TV, but the cost is very high in comparison to an LCD. LCD's, or Liquid Crystal Display TV's are perfect for these types of projectors because the anti-glare screen comes with the TV, and it can be adjusted for different light conditions.

The LCD's will come with standard RCA video inputs, sometimes expanded from a 1/8th inch jack. Pixel count, and therefore resolution and picture quality is quite important. The better quality the LCD, the better the final projected image will be.

If you're choosing this method of building a projector, you don't have to worry about taking your LCD monitor apart, because this projector uses a direct reflection method, rather than a pass through transmissive method that would require you to take the backlight off your LCD monitor.
