When I get it going later, I will post the thing working~

And then I have to experiment with LVDS extenders, as this cable is way too short..

EDIT: It appears to be working ...

Holy crud that screen shipped fast!

Ah, 15" of beauty. Now to just wait forever for the driver board.. lol.. In ...

Sounds great!

I can't wait to get this working. Its just a waiting game now.. lol.

sweet! What controller did you get?

And does it operate in a mode that allows it to remember the last input selected?

Had to switch boards due to a compatability issue. Its a little larger, but on the plus side, has s video and coax inputs. So I'll probably connect the ps2 to it via s-video, as that is a much better way to do so.

But the panel and driver boards are on their way. Hope they come fast!

So the ps2 ...

Yeah, I know they are. I just like to keep them as cheap as possible.

Also, why would I need it if my display driver circuit has composite in?

Thanks! Also.. holy crap. I really like that site, but everything is incredibly expensive.. Just one small pack from them is more then I'd spend on the whole portable. I'll probably engineer my own at this point, I just didn't want to re-invent a cheap 12v supply if I didn't have to, you know?

I ...

Figured the battery was too good to be true.

As for the vga, that board has composite and s-video in as well.

Okay! I'm planning this now. lol.

I am going to use one of those laptop monitor adapter kits on ebay, more specifically, this one:

Heh. Forgot about this whole thing, lol.

I got bored and made a 3D model quickly, using this screen as my new design.

I know how to do it, as I had a 19" LCD, that the back light broke on....

I'm debating if I should make it with aluminum, or would it be really cool if I made a mold, and dumped liquid plastic in and made a uni-body XD

yeah lol...

QUESTION(S):

Should I watch out for anything when it comes time to rip apart the monitor to make it thinner... also, how thin can I make it? Can I move the electronics from the back to the main chassis of the laptop to make it thinner on the screen itself?

How much power does a 15.4 ...

I may help out there during the summer, and I may convince him to set up a service where you send specs, and we buy and make it, and mail it to you, for a reasonable price... what would you think?

Good news!
My friend, connor, his uncle owns a metal shop. It has computer bend stuff, CNC machines, laser cutters, and smelting stuff... also much more, but that is all I remember. And since I know his family, I get it for free!

Try RC vehicle Lithium Polymer batteries... 5000mAh and weigh nothing... I found a site that sells them for around 30 bucks each... they put out between 6-8 volts depending on charge.... only thing is, charge carefully, and make sure that THEY NEVER GET A SHORT OR PUNCTURE. And you would need a ...
