Feel free to ask or share a better solution by replying to any particular step or by starting a new discussion. You will need these two tools, it is recomme...

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

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

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

After you have everything set up and place a desk lamp with and incandescent bulb behind, but not to close, and some plug-in dimmer.

Enjoy a classic film such as 2001:Space Odyssey and see how it acquires new level of immersion by being projected by an incandescent backlight, and without any strain to your eyes.

Alejandro Jodorowsky "The Holy Mountain" (1973) Top notch all-time art film with a lame end lol.

Share your prototypes to further enrich and perfect the incandescent screen transformation…
