if your board has lvds out you don't need anything but a cable to connect the 2, no interface board is necissary at all. of course you'll still need an inverter. many who can supply the vga-lvds board can also provide the package, which would include the board, all cables & inverter for said screen... a package like that could be over $250 last I checked..
yeah, tons of research is necissary, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, just having some of the facts leads to incorrect conclusions most times..
as far as transflective goes, it definaley reduces the overall actual nit brightness of the screen, but then taking the boost into account from ambient light, the overal nit 's are higher overall. transflectives are generally less contrast than a standard panel.
on a note about contrast & brightness, I did my bright screen twice actually, the first panel I used was a more standard laptop panel, when the light was fully cranked it was severly washed out, sunlight viewable & an improvement over stock big time, but still washed out. this, along with horrible viewing angles, I just wasn't satisfied with the end results, I winded up redoing it with the boe hydis panel...
now the boe hydis panel uses a different technology as you've seen, it is almost like a transflective in most ways to begin with, & when you super bright a transflective screen it doesn't wind up being as "actual" bright as a non transflective, so the end result of the hydis was not as bright as the standard panel really, still super bright, but not as bright.
the hydis screen however, even with 30k nits behind it, has awsome contrast.... it looks soooo much better than my first lcd, even though technically it's not as bright...
there are so many variables in the stack of an lcd that it is hard to know how a panel will react to so much extra light, many will wash out & loose contrast big time, when a factory builds a sunlight viewable high nit screen they take this into account, & match the optical stack to the job at hand, but home brew does not have that luxury... even transflective upgrades need modifications to the rest of the optical stack for contrast & viewing angle tweeking...
I feel you pain, when I did mine I did so much research it wasn't even funny, many many hours really of reading & learning... a few years later I remember some of what I learned, but there is just so much to the overall equation...
