Digital Photo Frame

[WannaBeGnome]

Hi, is it possible to use digital photo frame as a display? Thanks for all replies.

Hi,

 

I tried some time back to use two Samsung SPF-800W as MFCD's but could get it to work. Only one of them was working at a time.

 

Check out Gremlin77's thread. He is using three Lilliput USB monitors:

Lilliputs are quite expensive i think. For example this costs 99.00$... For that price i can get this which is a lot bigger. Please correct me if i am wrong, i am new in that building area :)

That's true but if the size doesn't matter much then you might as well go for an 22" with VGA or DVI connection. Then it can be connected straight to your graphics card. That is how I am running :music_whistling:

Indeed. For that price you can get a used monitor at least that big with higher resolution (looking at your AOC link). USB monitors are not FPS friendly.

[Gremlin77]

yes, they are expensive, but have two advantages:

1st, they don't need a graphics port. If you have lot of screens running, this counts most

2nd they are small and fit behind the cockpit front panel. Not easy to get a 7'' or 8'' VGA monitor.

fps is no problem when you use them for displaying MFDs, CDU etc.

I know, but i am looking for USB monitors, because my video card has only 2 outputs, and i don´t want to buy another one.

The important question, in that case, is how do you intend to use it? What do you want to display on each monitor?

[WannaBeGnome]

I want one or two primary display for outside view, and one maybe two for instruments (altimeter...).

[cichlidfan]

Two primary displays does not work very well since the split will be in the middle unless you create a really odd setup.

 

You might be fine using a USB monitor for Helios gauges and MFD exports so two displays dedicated to that could work.

 

All of this would also depend on whether your hardware will handle it in the first place.

Yea, i know, i´ve got really old PC, but this year i am getting new, and i am planning to build simple pit. So i am planning it what will i use etc.
