What about this NEC NL6448AC20-06, is it possible to hack this screen? Found it for about $20 so I wonder if i can hack it so it has video in.

From the little info I glanced at, it sounds like it would make a nice screen. Where did you get it?

EDIT: after looking at some more posts here and looking at the specs better, I change my mind.

Well, haven't bougth it yet. A friend of mine knows where to get it cheap (legal). But the problem is that I don't know how to power it and get an "video input". If anyone can help with that I would be very pleased

.

It says it has Digital RGB on an info sheet, but how to convert it to "video in" is my question ;D

Been searching and I have found out that it uses 5V, but not more than that. Sad to be honest, because it's a kinda cheap screen, but there is no info how to use video in on it .

It appears to be a 'raw' LCD, you need a controller board to use it with analog video. $50-100 on eBay for the adapter.

Oh.. Way to expensive then to make it work. Then I rather buy another "working" screen for about $20 + shipping.

I have seen this screen and it has VERY poor colors/contrast.

And as mentioned you would need a controller for it.
