Originally posted by marcusBMG What do you think - do you know of any reason not to cut the EES sideways like this?
If the EE-S is a micro-Fresnel lens design (I suspect it is), then the micro lenses are concentric around the center point of the screen (optical axis). If you cut the screen in half, you would be destroying the symmetry of the system and get very unintended results from your efforts.
If, on the other hand, the EE-S is merely a finely-grained (ie, random) matte screen (doubtful, but possible), then you would be good to go.
I don't think I would take the chance.
I know there have been online posts by people who have done their own conversions; you might search the web to find out their methods and experiences. Sorry I don't have any specific links.
