Hi,
I'm new to your forum but not to the DIY projects. Was doing fresnals and CRT projections back in the early 80's
I just wanted to post a correction on the PD-186 LCD panel which was discussed in the below thread.
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showthread/t-21892-p-4.html
The way they come up with the 11,520,000 DOTS is not misleading as was stated.
The panel is a 16:9 800* 600* panel. 800X600=480000
And the 480000X 24 bit color gives us the 11,520,000 DOTS
So the result is:
800 x 600 x 24 = 11,520,000 bits per screen, or 1,440,000 megabytes/screen
The PD-186 is a good easy strip LCD that works well for the DIYer
Hope that clears some things up for those interested in this panel.
No offense to the guy that tried to explain it as 3 dot per pixel.
😀

Well its the wrong part of the forum, but still - great to hear.
So where can I get one of these locally? And how much do they usually go for... and other info on em? (no idea what lcd your'e talking about 🙂. Is it that 6" 800x600 lcd? What inputs?
Cheers,
Alex

Yes, it is misleading. And it doesn't make sense.
In most people's mind, sub-pixels do not count individually, much less intensity levels of sub-pixels measured in binary...
I have an LED with a potentiometer on the end which I can put to a million different intensity levels. This does not mean that I have a megapixel LED display. It also does not mean that I have whatever a million is in binary (2^20), "20 dots."
