VGA connector for Ipod screen?

**FC3S** · 07-23-2006, 02:19 PM

This might be a stupid question, so yes im prepared to be flamed for it

but i been lookin for probably close to an hour, and cant find anything out about it, though im sure SOMEONE has done it

but would it be possible to connect an ipod screen to a vga/usb connection? (for displaying gauges or whatever)(and yes, i know a controller of some type would be required)

only wondering 'cause you can get $30 color ipod screens, and if theres a controller out there for them for cheap, then, yeah, haha

all other screens around the same size, i've seen are upwards of $100

Considering the resolution of the iPod screen and teh output resolution of any VGA adapter, I think that even if you did manage to pull this off, it would look like ***.

lol, i guess thats true

the ipod color ones dont look THAT bad

lolz, but oh well, worth a shot at asking i suppose

you wont find one... it could work but im sure apple found some way to make it near impossible... i.e. making pixel drawing completely different and making vga unusable

what there is however... is a computer program that takes the infromation from the ipod and displays it as an ipod screen on teh comp display (least... i thought i saw it)... search for that ^^

apple doesnt make the screen. The screens are actually very powerful and apple essentially dumbs then down for ipod use (technically speaking)

The ipod color for instance was capable of playing movies before the video ipod came out the chips had preventors on them though. Kinda like a governor for you car.

i had video on my ipod photo. not the most impressive of hacks, but you take a video in quicktime turn it into pictures, and use your thumb to go the speed of the movie

i did use google, if u read my post it says i searched, but none of the strings i used pulled up anything

and thats not what im looking for, i dont want video OUT of the ipod, i want to put my pc output INTO the ipod

since i have a couple ipods lying around im not using, thought i could make use of them
