|
|
|
I'm about to buy a 65" Mitsubishi WS-65869 RPTV. I was just kind of curious if anyone had ever swapped out the 7" CRT components and retro fitted a 8 or 9" set that would do 1080p into one of these or a similar TV? This isn't something I would do right now but maybe in the next 6-12 months. Eventually when I got a bigger space to use I would pull it out of the cabinet and do front projection.

Some of the mitsubishis have 9 inch tubes in them. I don't think the electronics let you do 1080p though.

I meant pull out all the projector guts, replace it with a Marquee, NEC, Barco, or the likes CRT projector. Only the 73" sets have 9" tubes.

you could not replace a front projector of different tube size into a RP cabinet. The throw distance on the lenses are not short enough. You could only reuse the RP screen itself.

You could probably use the shortest throw lens that will fit the projector and then just shrink the image size. You wont be running the contrast as high as normal FP so it shouldn't burn the tubes any faster.
Of course if you have to shrink it a lot then you may not be able to run 1080p cause of overlap.
