yev, do you think you can send me a piece of holo screen? I want to play a little with it too. I called them at the beginning of the year, but i don't have insiders like you do

.

Alti, how did your mechanism work?

Shotgun, did the polarizing film idea work well in the car? BTW, i added to my nitemax review my findings wiht the color nitemaxes. Try black and white, it will give you less halos.

Quantum, do you know of anything that that is pretty transperant and polarizes or no?

sure, i have 4 different types
pm me you address, i will send it via priority, if you not going to have use for them, you can send the remaining back,

too bad i can't be more helpful here, if i get it done i will be in credit card debt of no return, and will start my own novel of
how i got into debt thanks to wonderful members, and ideas of www.mp3car.com

I actually haven't tried polarizing film yet. I've been meaning to, but haven't gotten around to it. The only film I've used was the privacy film to hide the LCD itself from your eyes and for that, it works great.

Yev, i looked at the link you gave me,and that seriously does look pretty cool. I sat and wondered how many super bright LEDs it would take to get that same effect because then there'd be no need for a fan. I'm going to use the LCDs mark provided me. I have to purchase an Svid to RCA adapter so i'll get that when i get my DVI to VGA adapter.

i think regular 21 led bulb will workout because led is a directional light, which is what you need, you might want to add a small polarzed lens/screen as well to get more even brightness, i would go with the small fan anyway just in case, led is awesome, cause it could last longer than the car will.

i mailed 5 screen samples today, i doubt you may found a use for them though, i would just go with some tint that way you will have perfect fitment on windshield, and projection. it will blockout some of the bright incoming beams, and keep picture somewhat visible., and totally visible in the darkness.

I don't think you sohuld worry about dvi/vga/s-video/rca, since it it will be projected small, you will have s video/rca from the rear/front camera

and you can get this:

if you want to project actual gps map on your windshield, i know vga is perfect, but i don't think quality will matter much in such case

BTW, also projection distance wouldn't be that great, so i don't think you might need to use anything extreme

visibility was never a probem, it was getting rid o a double image produc by hte glass. e we going to try andsee if polarizin the light wld do it, but shotun never got arond to it. I'mgoing to step up in a bitand try it, i just have to figure out how to power y LCD and then get an image on it from the computer.
