Good morning! Trying to help my Scouts with a Fresnel lens and we found a TV for free pick up, how do I determine if this TV is a rear projection and has the appropriate lens?
Tx in advance-)

 

Welcome to AAC!
Providing the make and model of the TV would be a good start.

Hi John,
This link may give you some background information.

Well it's clearly a projection TV, but I see no reference to the optical system, apart from the micro-mirror spec.

 

This from a Google search:

Do DLP TVs have Fresnel lens?
All the diagrams of rear-projection TVs using DLP show a Fresnel lens right behind a dark diffuser (rear-projection film).

so it would appear likely to have a Fresnel lens.
If you look at the screen when it is off, you should be able to tell if the screen is a Fresnel lens by the faint circular rings.
