Looks like your going to have to bust out the soldering iron for this one man!!!

looks to be just a bare screen and inverter....... you will still need a vga controller.
I would say its nothing special

i can solder but what would have to be soldered?
is it possible and if so how?

I'm pretty sure that this screen has standard hirose connection. I have seen them at my local electronics outlet for $90.

You will need a VGA controler card to make it work, expect to pay over $100 for that. Otherwise, nice that it already has the inverter.

If you are looking for a 10.4 do-it-your-self dash install this would work well, though I would question the low resolution in such a large screen (what is the point), I would think that you would want at least 800 x 600 at 10.4 inches.

what mobo you want to connect to it?
some of new EPIAs have LCD connector directly, so you will not need a VGA controler.
look at www.viamainboard.com

640x480 is fine for a Car PC. DVDs still paly full screen. And it means application buttons are a good size for a touchkit.

Don't think they are publically available yet.

well Yes and NO,........

The boards with on board LVDS, are not listed as a retail item by VIA.

But you can find them if you want. While I have not seen the TC boards yet (with on-board 12v connection), You can find the M6000 and M10000 with LVDS on-board.

In fact, I have a source right here in Houston, not sure if they ship overseas or not.

so it is possible to obtain one
but at what cost?
overall do u think it is worth it
iam stateside

NJay · 01-22-2004, 12:15 PM

I didn't think the LVDS was onboard but rather it had a connector to an optional LVDS daughterboard.

You can see them on news page on www.mini-itx.com

It also mentions that an Italian company are going to be doing Flat panel dev kits

EPIK · 01-22-2004, 12:19 PM

EPIK · 01-22-2004, 09:36 PM
