i bet that you could solve that blockage problem too if you did this
Thats an excellent idea.
I checked my OHP and the plastic edge between the Glass and the fresnel lense is shaped to stop light in/out. This would need replacing once the plastic is cut to the new shape.
Oh and voiding my warranty!
I'll see if it bugs me now

sorry I cant post pics, might be 2 weeks, ordered part from Hong Kong. Doh!

Late edit:
Real good luck with the project
Tell us how you get on. Please get a good screen, if not its like driving a porsche with bicycle wheels!
