    alos the screen goes blury and then it looks sharp again. blury like out of focus.

    do u have any ideas to help me out? thanks.
    As monkeyracer said, you would have a better response in the LCD sub forum. Ive never heard of those symptoms, but an unregulated power supply could be the cause of this. If you have pulled your Lilliput apart then It could be a faulty connection. If you haven't pulled it apart I would claim the warranty asap. If this doesn't answer your question start a thread in the LCD sub forum.

    Hey Biggy, bloody fantastic work there.

    The 15" screen is freaken huge, id love to see this in real life.
    I myself was also a part of AMC and had a car computer.

    Can i just point out something, Im not sure if anybody has mentioned this.

    Painting the internals of the LED box white will Dramatically increase the brightness and also the diffusion of the led light. It will also ensure a consistent colour balance. As the colour white reflects the light of all the spectrum the led light will bounce around that box and create a box full of bright white light.

    Make sure anything that goes in the box is also white.

    As for whether to use matt or gloss white...

    Gloss white will be slightly brighter, however matt white result in Significantly more diffused light.

    Hope this helps.

    Luke

    Thanks for the comment, I know white is the most reflective colour but surely polished aluminum will have more reflection then any paint? This is the reason why I made it from ali and not painted perspex. I may play around with this though, thanks for the example.

    hey biggy, lhc is right, not only will white be brighter, but anything but white will affect the display negatively, I even went so far as to wire all my led's with white wire, you don't want anything but white really in there.
