I was thinking about trying this, but I only have a Laptop monitor to use. Any advice on not breaking it?
I'm trying to do this project with a laptop monitor. I paused and decided to seek advice before I took off all of the tape that said "no touching"
any advice?
how do you insulate the LCD screen from the ohp?
Has anyone tried working with a Infocus 97600ws display, mine has no cables.

I followed this tutorial, it worked great but when i powered it off, and then back on the screen was black, any sugestions?
How about using an array of ultra bright LEDs? that would solve the heat issue
Has anyone tryed it with a lower watt projector?
Like a 350 Watt, according to specs its 3200 Lumens.
if so how low could you go? 250watt
