built front projector out of JVD 65 HD RPTV ketstone ideas
by b carras - 4/10/07 8:40 AMhad a 2004 RPTV JVC 65 in 16-9 with a busted screen that i picked up on craiglist for $120 that had very low hrs as it had been sitting for almoast 2 years . removed chassis and made it into a floor sitting projector.the picture is a bright as my 1000 lumen HD70 projector with mind blowing color and contrast . the short commings are the bottom picture starts just 4 inches off floor and i had to slant the screen off the wall at the top 6 inches to tame the keystone . would like to hooked it to my computer and find a video card under $200 that has a DVI out and will keystone so please recomend a card . has any body out there done any conversions like this ? this is my 3rd CRT RPTV conversion and my first true HD CRT front projector. have pics just email me at sbcarras@comcast.net

The only front projector that really impresed me was the new Sony $5000 projector tru 70M.M. quality. Also the first hi-def set I owned was the 65" Sony 3 tube beast. looked great but no brightness at all if you cranked up brightness and contrast all the way up it still was not bright enough and picture would bloom got rid of it on e-bay for $300 and only a year old now have a 72" d.l.p. Toshiba rear projector that is blazing brite would like to know more and let me know how I can look up your pictures stewe
