This is awesome

Great little piece of engineering.

 

[ikem]

very nice. I thought about doing that to my AOC 23 inch monitors. but still havent yet..

 

[AaronO]

that's amazing. great job!

 

[Timu]

My god, that is just plain awesome, nice job!

 

[Awaz]

Can you share the part number for the controller? I think I want to do this ! I can piecemeal this instead of getting nagged to death by the wife for buying a whole monitor.

 

[briddell]

I am so doing this. That is fantastic! As Awaz said, can you share the model number of the controller? I am having trouble finding one.

Wow... just wow. $250 for a higher res than $1000 will get you from Dell.

Type LVDS controller on ebay. It cost about 32-33$ with cables complete kit (controller + inverter + mini keyboard for changings monitor settings + cables, only without PSU but as I write before you can ower it directly from PSU molex connector

NEXT STEP

4608x2048 @ 20" IPS retina

amazon.com is where i get a lot of laptop lcd replacements when i fix random peoples broke junk
you tend to spend around 70 - 120 for a 17"
never even dawned on me to make my own monitor out of them.
following this thread like a stalker!

 

[Bal3Wolf]

can be as 1 or 3 idenpendent screens

you need card with eyefinity or surround

I will use it on windows 2D only so HD5450 with DVI/DP/VGA will be enough

 

[Cavey00]

Amazing engineering. Totally subscribed to this.

Subbed. This is one of the coolest things I've seen here.

 

[Loyrl]

That is pretty sweet, was wondering if you could do that with most panels. We have a lot of 15" monitors that we have no use for and that would be pretty neat to put together.

 

[ovawe]

beautifull. i feel this is how the future should go for consumers. i would pay an extra 20 percent just to be able to totally customize my setup and mix and match.

glossy matte height adjust size ratio dpi tn va ips backlight strobing ...etc to each his own. next monitor i'm looking to do some DIY as well. hope i dont get lazy

 

[Jackeduphard]

That is sexy!

 

[exzacklyright]

You should post this in /r/electronics or /r/ECE

 

[Yoneda]

This is awesome.
Looks funny with the little stand :3

 

[IChangedMyName]

Looks awesome! I'd love to have one
