dgraviett Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I'm wanting to put LCD screens behind my mfd's. I've been looking at the threads and reading about different ways to do it. And it looks like the route i want to go is with the LCD screens and modules. Looks like it's the cheapest. But I know nothing about how to use one or hook it up. If anybody can point me in the right direction on tutorials or anything that would help. And some good places to buy the parts. I know they have them on ebay. I would like to hook them up through usb.

dgraviett Posted August 25, 2012 Author Posted August 25, 2012 I see on ebay 8.9" lcd laptop screens for around $40. They are just the screens. I'm guessing i would need a module to connect to them and then that would go to my computer.

You really want something with the basic electronics built in (unless you really like to build things).

dgraviett Posted August 25, 2012 Author Posted August 25, 2012 I looked at the displays in that form and they are like 140 each. And I do like building things. Thats kinda of why i'm wanting to go this route with the displays. That is what really has got my attention looking at the forms see what people have built from scratch. It is truly amazing what they can build.
Swaty Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 I have bought 2 X 8'' LCD (VGA) and cost me more than one 19'' or 22'' screen. It depends how you are planing to use it. My intention was to built a desktop panel where they fit perfect: Here is how they were connected to my second GPU: BUT if you plan to built something bigger you can fit the MFDs in front of a bigger (and Cheaper) monitor. Costs you less and you can have (using HELIOS) more options. These are the 8'' I got link [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Pit
dgraviett Posted August 26, 2012 Author Posted August 26, 2012 That is exactly what i want to build what you have built!!!
Swaty Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I was inspired from Superbus project at first place. Looks more pro and more flexible than mine because by used an old PC case instead of makeing my own box limits the way I could place monitors, switches etc. Check his posts: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1092392&postcount=163 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My Pit
