4.- Incorporating everything together and final result

Now that the panel has been securely affixed to the frame, its time to make a nice solid base for the ports, the interface that connects the monitor to your content, a nice block of wood is the best, then add some design, I choose an octagon

Brother_Sven

put the card over the block and align it left and right, top and bottom and mark the holes, its recommended to unplug it form everything before doing this

Brother_Sven

make the thread manually or by drilling a little hole in each of the markings, this is so you don't exert too much pressure when mounting the card, reducing risk of breaking it

Brother_Sven

plug everything together and you will see that the port of the card connected to the panel is very fragile and handling it makes the supper fragile ribbon cables move, so the solution for this is to put another copper "T" just behind this connector when making the frame, and this part of the card glued here along with the rest of the card the day before, in this way the risk will be considerably diminished when connecting it, otherwise just by connecting this port and exerting too much pressure without being extra careful, you might damage the ribbon cables and start over. Here because I didn't do this since this is the fist prototype of its kind, I will be extra careful while connecting it, first one side and then the other

Brother_Sven

plug everything together and the monitor is finished! just be careful not to move too much the cable that connects the ports to the card of the panel, but everything is sturdy now and can handle some stress, it should last for many years if handled properly

then find one or two incandescent desk lamp that can handle 100 watt bulbs to place behind, here I am using only one 100 watt bulb, you may need twice as much for more light intensity, less in darker settings, I also needed to put some books in the front side to adjust the viewing angle, this can also be solved back when making the frame, by setting the desired angle in the bottom "T"s before curing the copper frame

Quality photons are either free or not cheap depending if you use solar backlight or vacuum bulb backlight, after you have everything set up and have a desk lamp with and incandescent bulb vacuum with some plug in dimmer, sit back and enjoy an old classic film, and see how the same thing you have watched over and over, acquires new meaning and level of immersion by being projected by an incandescent light source, and of course no problem to your eyesight.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain" One of the best top-notch high quality art films with a very lame end, lol haha.

Post your pictures and ideas to further enrich and perfect the technique of the incandescent screen transformation…
