had an old TV with a broken LCD panel, and disassembled it to the backlight, with the intention of putting a poster and then a frame on top.

that is still the intention! but we wanted to see how well light transmits through various stuff, so we acquired a slightly stained pillowcase from a nearby residence that was being moved out of and put it on top with some clothespins, and it is actually kinda fun to draw on!!

continuing from this thread:

we have since decided to just use the factory driver board because lazy :3 (zip tied over the menu button so it stays on)

(this photo shows removing the IR receiver/status LED ribbon cable because it was annoying and in the way)

we also did want to hang it up, and found a little loop thing that could be put under one of the driver board screws!

and because we in the end opted to keep the original driver board:

and we can then put this thing on a wall!!

if you have any cool ideas for what we can do besides using this to frame a poster, write them below =3

    Some nerd just showed me her photo negatives, and I remembered this post. So maybe those would be cool too. c:

      oooo that sounds very fun as well. making a really big print of one is challenging though and we don’t have a whole lot of film photos at all. but maybe an old film reel cut up could be fun :)
