Custom LCD Screen
<< < (5/5)
Jakobud:
There are companies out there that "cut" LCDs to custom sizes.  It's mostly for aircraft cockpit displays and stuff like that.  I contacted them about cutting a 26"-ish LCD to the size for a marquee and it would cost roughly $3000 for just one, not including the price of the original 26" LCD tv.

An actual custom from-scratch LCD would cost MUCH MUCH more.  Even if they did a run of 1000 of them.  TV manufacturer's put together LCD tv's in the hundreds of thousands.  Doing a specific run of only 1000 custom made LCDs would be EXTREMELY expensive.  A lot of engineering time goes into something like this before its even considered for actual manufacturing.

It's a nice pipedream, but not worth the price in this type of hobbie.

Well you are probably right, but the email has already been sent. I will report back with what they tell me.
