Jimd0586 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I know there is a lot of talk about homemade MFD setups. I found one video in particular where the guy connects a lilliput USB monitor to his setup. What is appealing about this is that my Graphics card has just two outputs (well three if you include VGA). So I cannot have 3 separate outputs for DDIs and then one for the main screen. A USB monitor fits my setup best. My question is, in the video below the guy says the screens have a USB input as well so the MFD Cougar can plug into the screen and both output/connect to the PC through the Lilliput USB cable. However, I have seen nothing in the description of the Lilliputs that confirms that they have a USB input. Does anyone know? I suppose I could connect both separately to the PC but his setup looks so streamlined. Anyone know anything about these screens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No1sonuk Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) https://lilliputdirect.com/lilliput-um80 Looks like purely USB input to me. Though it's specifically THAT model. Edited April 13, 2022 by No1sonuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPatricks Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 I have the Lilliput 8" Touchscreens (two USB's each for touch) and I quickly saw they (the touch aspect) were unreliable so I added the TM bezels soon after installing them. I would just get the non-touch 8", TM Bezels, and a powered USB hub. My screens do not have a USB input so as @No1sonuk stated, be sure what model you get does if you go that way. This is running Helios with the "other" F16 sim, I run them in portrait mode and use the extra space for critical gauges..
