Hi all,
I love coming back to posts after a while of neglect and seeing how well they have progressed. You all seem to be leaving the DIY realm and making professional passing projects too!
In the next few months, after I save up the cash, I'm going to finally build my own entertainment unit (ie. my diy projector-pc setup). Just wondering though, has anyone using this method (laptop panel/controll) posted up their results with pics? And whats the quality like compared to a retail projector?
Any panel-controller combination recomendations? Any better (performance and price wise) routes?
I want a target resolution of around 1024x768 w/ 32-bit colour.
I'll be asking more technical questions as time progresses.
Thanks alot all for providing what you have.

A/D controller
here is another one from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3698&item=2087736398
this seems clearly an lcd controller, specs are found when following the link further down the screen.....
still about 50 pct of the sales price.

Two new LCD screens to try out!
I'm waiting for my shipment of 2 new screens to try on my controller. I have a 12 inch LG LVDS screen coming as well as a Hitachi 14.1 LVDS . Finally I'll get to see the differance between a low grade TTL panel and a mid range LVDS.
I'm expecting good things!

LVDS for cheap
Look in the SBC-675 thread.
I have orderd a few of this Aaeon Boards.
They have a flat panel connector on board.
Nexcom, Aaeon, Jumptec , Advantech.
All the same, expensive industrial boards if you get them "new"
I'm developing with such boards as "basis" for
our company. So , I knew the prices.
Also for the addons.
As i see that i can get a cheap Aaeon fullsize board in the "Pentium Class" boards on Ebay i was so happy that i odered direct a few. (unfortunately a few too much).
Forget to route some wires yourself.
It's a differntial signal transmission which transmitts
Pixel Data from Mhz to Gigabits. (hard stuff)
You cannot wheaponed with a soldering iron only,
do such a stuff without getting EMV EMI problems in your
neighboor hood. You need a 4 layer pcb as quoted in the
design notes of this chips (Texas, National, Thine)
If you are a pcb designer with high speed design knowledge
do it. When not , forget about it to do it yourself.
But you can add easilly sound with some wires
at the ISA slot. That's not a problem.
Think about what is easier and cheaper to do.
Perharps you find some ready to fit LVDS transmitter
which you have only to fit in cheap in such a board.
Look for TDMS, LVDS Transmitter modules.
Most XGA displays from 13.3" up have the LVDS receivers included. So you need only the transmitter module.
Pay attention that the module can handle 18 and/or 24 bit colors.
If you have a 14 or 20 pin connector you have an LVDS display.
14 pin = 18 bit (262k colors)
20 pin = 18 / 24 bit (262k or 16.7 Mio colors)

What do you think this controller is for a monitor or a laptop panel?
nec controller
Any info about its original purpose would help.

probably no good for a PJ but.....
Good site with some interesting info. As mentioned ...probably/for sure no good for a PJ but for other uses looks like a winner.
