Has anyone used the LVDS function on GeForce cards ?
Was wondering if it's possible ot run laptop screens.
Thanks

What GeForce cards have the LVDS interface? It's just a feature connector on the board, or what? Any additional specs to start investigation with?
All I know is that LVDS interface has several variations and not every LCD panel with LVDS interface will match the chosen LVDS controller.

I was going to make a new thread about this, but thought it better to recycle old threads and try to not add to the clutter so much.
I found a Ge-Force 4 card for around $45 that says it has "Integrated dual LVDS Transmitter supporting LCD panels up to 2048x1536". According to other posts on DIYAudio, there are two main standards for LCD panels -- TTL and LVDS. There's some REALLY nice panels I've seen out there that support LVDS -- does anyone know anything about using these video cards to directly-drive LCD panels? Mainly I've seen this stuff advertised for built-in LCD panels (as in Point-Of-Sale [POS] type applications, or embedded kiosks, or whatever). Anyone know anything about this? $45 is a WHOLE lot cheaper than an EarthLCD controller.
Specs on the card
Keep imagining!

yes i do there crapola i sell them at work. go for anything that is
ti mx is verry low end. but customers still buy em. gforce4 mx
is the gforce2 mx really gforce4 ti has the extra on the gpu
and thay need a fan dont last to long without it😉

Dream on, none of the Geforce cards has LVDS implemented (maybe you could sue the card manufacturer who falsely adverts the LVDS interface and buy an LCD interface with the money you will got)!
Only the laptops which use GF chipset have the LVDS connector for the LCD.
However, see www.dr-berghaus.de , they have a real AGP card which use the ATI Mobility Radeon chipset, unfortunately it's not out yet. The older one with ATI Mobility Rage chipset is available but doesn't have much memory onboard (should be about $100).

Chipset Features
◊ 256-bit 3D and 2D graphics accelerator
◊ Integrated second-generation Transform and Lighting engines
◊ 31 million triangles per second setup engine with Z-cull and Z-clear
◊ 1 billion texels per second and 500million pixel per second fill rate
◊ NVIDIA Shading Rasterizer with 24 of 26 DX8 pixel shading functions and full set of OpenGL 1.3 pixel combiner operations
◊ 32-bit color with 32-bit z/stencil
◊ Cube environment mapping
◊ DirectX® and S3TC® texture compression
◊ Digital Vibrance Control
◊ Enhanced TwinView dual-display architecture supporting any combination of notebook LCD, desktop VGA monitor, DVI display or TV set
◊ Integrated NTSC/PAL TV encoder supporting resolutions up to 1024x768
? Integrated TMDS transmitter for Digital Visual Interface support with scaling and filtering for flat panels up to 1600x1200
◊ DVD- and HDTV-ready MPEG-2 decoding up to 1920x1080i ATSC format
◊ MPEG-2 hardware decode, including Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform and Motion Compensation
Note it is "chipset" feature, and there is no LDVS connector on the card. so no go.
