Very simple Tft mod...

This is a "simple" Instructable on how to mod a Tft or Lcd display very easily and very cheap. It doesn't involve electronics for those who are not experienced, and it can be done by almost anyone.
I started my Tft/Lcd mod because of the movie "Fortress 2" where I saw a nice design for my boring white Tft flat screen. You can make any other design as complicated if you want, it depends on the materials you are gonna use and your experience. Drawing a design on paper helps a lot with getting the details right. My project is just example of what you can do with some simple non-complicated things and material...

Step 1

First: find out witch design your gonna use for your flat screen. Write down witch materials your gonna use and draw your design on paper to get a idea about the technical difficulties and the hole thing itself.
You can use the drawing you made from your design to write down the measurements en details.
Print screen's of the original from the Internet or movie can help, here was my idea from the movie "Fortress 2." I drawled simple lines to get an idea and printed it out. In the photo's you can see the guide lines I used to get the right measurement and shape. Then I toke my flat screen measurements to get the design at the right size. This step involves a lot of drawing and thinking, it toke a few hours and a trip to my local hardware store to look around for the right materials.

(and yes I know its Crt in the movie, I made a Tft version of it)

simple and clean. I like it! would've been even better if you could've done the entire front and done away with those wood-plastic seams I see there. Good job.
