Hello

- a friend gave me a LCD screen a Sharp LM64c35p.

After what i found on the net its a 10,4" LCD with 640x480 of resolution and 256 colors .
Is this LCD good for Carpc ??( to watch TV / movies )?
I know that I cannot easyly connect for example to Svideo ( would be too cool

So is there any cheap controller 4 it ? only found 1 for 299$ which is tooooo much for me

Here some pics of connector ( by reading this board i saw that its important )

256 Colors + Video =

Seeing as how some people complain about the DennisK screen's color (which I think is 12 bit), I think you'll probably be dissapointed with video quality. Before investing, I'd also check the brightness level (nits) of the display...

don't even try to watching a video on a 256 color screen. Here's a test you can do.. Set your desktop to 256 colot and watch a divx or a dvd.. You'll probably laugh

Nope, you're not missing anything. The lcd is though, that would be a controller. The screens themselves aren't expensive. The controller that makes it possible to actually use the lcd is the expensive part. Check out earthlcd.com for an idea of the prices.
