So im planning on making a projector...

[WarDemon666]

Ive been looking around, and all the 15" lcd's are 1024*768... is it possible to get higher? Or will I have to go with a 19" LCD?

Is it possible with a 19" LCD?

Also, what design seems to be the best? Ive found quite a few on the net, some that had a few mirrors, toms hardware guide that uses a school projector, another that uses a lens and a light only..

Whats the best one?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Id like to get the best picture quality, I probably wont be putting it any bigger than 50", 70" max...

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Spudd put together a great DIY projector that he talked about in this thread.

To get native HD resolution out of a desktop LCD you'd be looking at Apple's 30" Cinema display. Expensive.

Your best bet for a very high res LCD would be a high end laptop LCD. It will be much smaller, and won't cost you $3K.

Actually an Apple, HP, Sony, or BenQ 23" or Samsung 24" would do... native resolution of 1920x1200. Which would carry a 1080 picture with a little bit of room on the top and bottom.
