Laptop LCD vs Flat Panel LCD (PC)
If an lcd uses a vga format with a digital tft inpt, is it compatable with a PC with a DVI card or laptop? Whats the diffrence between a laptop vga signal and a PC vga signal? Thanks!
Laptop lcd's use a digital signal. The VGA card in your computer puts out analog signals.
I think there are only a few ways to go when you want a full-lcd-screen.
- Get a LCD with composite input and a video card that supports composite out.
- Get a laptop TFT and a very expensive TFT controller from e.g. www.flat-panel.com
- Get a Single Board Computer that has the needed interface for the TFT LCD's (not cheap either)
- Don't start messin' around yourself with the LCD and some kind of input, 'cause it simply won't work. The LCD's input (Digital as Arby said, in opposite what your Analog Video Card outputs)
- Maybe you could work yourself around with the DVI method, but As discussed in an other thread, this probably would be MORE expensive than a TFT and a controller from flat-panel.
So in short, If you've got a TFT that doesn't support some kind of composite input. than you have to get a controller from a store like flat-panel.com
Hope this helps you out

Ok...I think I got it. Your monitor is anolog, lcd is digital. So, a laptop lcd communicates diffrently than a pc flat panel? Which is why you need a controller instead of a DVI card, yada, yada, yada. This stuff is beyond me.I should just get a kit from the people who know what there doing (i.e. flat-panel.com) and be done with it. Thanks!
