My prototype monitor utilizes 2 laser projectors and 8 lasers.test123 wrote:hello! great thread!
Are you using celluon picopro projectors? have you tried Sony's MP-CL1?
I've read picopro is blurry and not "true" HD resolution.
Is their refresh rate overclockable? with lower resolution?
Is it possible to stack them to produce 16:10 ratio in 2560x1600?
thanks!
The first projector is a Sony MP-CL1 with some of the laser diodes changed out for different wavelengths of the same color. Then I modified part of the optical path to output 42 lumens instead of 30. This Sony projector uses color mixing to achieve the right color point. For example when you throw up a green image the sony projector turns the green laser on as well as the red and blue to achieve the 'right' green. Same for for red and blue.
The second projector is a showwx+ HDMI laser projector. This projector also has modified lasers of different wavelengths to cover more of the color gamut. This projector is just displaying "Brilliant" color mode. (Red is just the red laser, blue is just the blue laser and green is just the green laser turned on.)
This is to add more saturation to the sony image while adding some additional brightness.
<<<<The showwx+ is only 1/3 the total brightness of my monitor. The brighter and higher resolution from the Sony overshadows the resolution in the showwx+. The showwx+ is just there to provide the laser color HK effect, add true fluorescence to colors and widen the color gamut while reducing the effects of the low color depth inherent to both projector models.>>>>
Both images are overlapped and aligned perfectly. (Thus eliminating the distracting scan lines inherent to both projectors.) However there will be an option on my monitor to adjust the image alignment of the lasers for both projectors all independently. Also gamma settings and brightness controls.
That is a damn good question Falkentyne...Falkentyne wrote:Light23, how can I buy a projector from you? I sent you a PM earlier.
I still need to complete the final enclosure before I sell any to members here on the site.
IDEALLY I would like Chief to be my first customer and review the monitor here on his site. (And whoever DOES buy my monitor PLEASE do an extensive review and testing on games and web text readability on these forums.)
The cost of the materials is so high that they have to be made to order. Completion time is about 2 months from order time or sooner.
There is the special Anti Reflective /Extra Transmissible glass holder for the de-speckling film, a layer of gorilla glass 4 to prevent breakage of the screen if droped, the 2 laser projectors, my laser de-speckle film, a rare optically pure version of Chromadepth chromatic separation glass (Not film) for precision beam alignment, the special lining inside the monitor to absorb any and all stray light to protect contrast, special laser mirror to reduce the back end 'yoke' of the CRT like housing, TEC cooling modules and heatsinks on both projectors processor IC chips for thermal stability via Peltier devices, a very small special solid state dehumidifier mounted inside the housing to prevent any corrosion to circuits, a small solid state Electrostatic precipitator to control any stray dust internally without the need of filters...
The list goes on.
I thought about crowdfunding months ago but I would rather start much smaller and only sell to members here on the board first. Once you guys do some reviews maybe I can go larger or get licensed by some bigwig company.
In all seriousness these will probably end up being a limited run of unique one of a kind monitors.
Price varies on screen size and monitor size. (But so does overall brightness.)
14" to 25" screen sizes available, 14" being the brightest and 25" being the dimmest.
------------------------
Post back what size you would like a price on and I will get back with you on this thread with a price for that monitor size or screen size.
Payment can be made with PayPal or U.S. Postal money order
Names of orders will be displayed on a list posted in this thread. (Members names will be crossed out when you receive your monitor.)
Updates and shipping tracking numbers will be sent via PM or email.
2 months after payment (Or likely sooner) Monitor or screen will be shipped.
No payment will be accepted for laser monitors until I finish the final enclosure housing.
Payment CAN be accepted on anti-reflective laser de-speckle screens and can be shipped when completed.
-----------------------
I will post updates in this thread on the final monitor enclosure for folks who want to buy the whole Laser Monitor package.
