Welcome to the LumenLab LCD Monitor Database

Finding a monitor for your LCD projector can be quite an overwhelming process. There are many things that will effect your decision, especially FFC issues. FFC issues are when components (most often controller boards) cannot be moved out of the light path and make the construction of your projector difficult. Sometimes these issues can be impossible to overcome. To help get you prepared for your build, this database contains quick and searchable references to monitors that have been successfully used in the past by other LumenLab members. There are also entries for some that can be used if modified and some to stay away from all together. If you find a model is not listed and you know it can be used,or should be avoided, please enter it into the database by choosing the "new" function. Please try to make full entries. Entries with no useful information will be deleted. When making a new entry, dont hit your ENTER button until you have completed all the information.
