-The Monitor of choice uses a VA-LCD Panel to provide better Black Levels than standard TN Panels. It also does not suffer from IPS-Glow. Ideally an OLED Panel or other self illuminating pixel display should be used, but these were unobtainbale at time of writing.
+The monitor of choice uses a VA-LCD Panel to provide better black levels than standard TN-Panels. It also does not suffer from IPS-Glow. It is, however, view angle dependent.

-The dimensions of the box are derived from the Monitor. It is important the some depth (a) is added to the box compared to the distance between bottom and LCD (h). This distance will be the precived distance between background and projection.

 The background is made out of unused scrap PCBs with dark blue soldermask. It is illuminated by stray light only.

 A background too bright will shine through dark parts of the projection, so it should be avoided if such content is to be projected.
-Extra height (b) is added to house the electronics and cables. A RaspberryPi is internally connected to the LCD monitor via HDMI. Ethernet, Analog Audio and Power connected are available on the back.
+Extra height (b) is added to house the electronics and cables. A RaspberryPi 1 is internally connected to the LCD monitor via HDMI. Ethernet, Analog Audio and Power are routed to the back.
-The Monitor rests on the side walls of the box. These are made from two layers of MDF. The inner ones are have a height of (h) and the monitor is placed on these. The outer side walls of the box have the full height (h+b).
+=== Software ===
+The RaspberryPi inside the box run standard a Raspberian Lite (Debian based) OS without GUI. Video Playbay is done by omxplayer, which uses the Hardware video decoder of the rPi SoC.
+A systemd unit file is added to the end of the Boot process to run a video playback script.
