Kontron LCD VGA=>LVDS controller

Hi -- I also have an NEC NL8060BC31-28D panel and after reading your post, I contacted Kontron. They only sell the CRTtoLCD-7 now which is overkill for my app; costs nearly $200; and is end of life. I was told that the CRTtoLCD-5 or 6 would be fine for me and I found these in the UK (Diamond Point Online) for 50 pounds or so. I was excited but then Diamond told me that Kontron don't seem to have a compatible JILI30 LCD cable for this display and that making such a cable isn't easy. Do you have any additional information? I was hoping to use this panel with an ELO touch screen I found on ebay for not much $ for my macmini boat system -- but it's beginning to seem undoable.

Farf, i am feeling your pain!
i have a Sharp LQ150X1LGN2 display (15" with touch and backlight) that i am trying to work into a Fusion Brain project.
i am definitely NOT the techie that i should have been going in to this project, and i know i have a whackload of learning to do.
so here goes... I believe, what i need is a CRT to LCD controller (as seen from Kontron) that will manage the display, backlight and touch. Or would the touch maybe be a secondary USB???
i have pics of all connectors, but only enough knowledge to be dangerous.

overall unit

lcd plug 1

lcd plug 2

backlight plug (??? or so i am assuming)

touch screen 1

touch screen 2

ok, so that's the slideshow (so to speak)...anyone have any ideas where to move from here?
i am not too impressed with the only Kontron unit being over 2 bills. especially after all the other mods i am doing on top.
Thanks!
