Imaging a thin triple monitor setup...

I actually did this trick a few years back and didn't make a screen out mine, but used it to create a projector. I had to modify the control board a bit (no backlight, well not the one thst came with the screen at least), mess about with an enclosure (with cooling and strong enough light source), and mess about with lenses and mirrors. It turned out pretty good and worked nicely as a fun project to make a relatively inexpensive projector I didn't mind taking outdoors to have fun with friends.

That's actually insane. Ty my man

Might have to give this one a try, thanks for the video :)

Honestly, that controller board would be cool for a retro games setup: VGA for Dreamcast, Component for Gamecube/Wii/PS2/etc, TV for NES/SNES, and HDMI for... Idk, a raspberry Pi for everything else

Looking for a way to reuse what I might've put in the bin, and found a decent channel, I consider this a win

You seem like a good channel with potential hopefully you will blow up soon

Kiddo you have a future on broadcasting, truly. Thanks for that tip. I have some broken stuff I need to recycle and this is perfect. Keep doing such a good job! Those morons with the dislikes are just jealous. All you need is more space to work on so your projects don´t fall into the ground.

I need to try this. What audio recording software are you using?

Could have shown us the inverter so we know what to look for..

I was curious, other than being 30 or 40 pin, is your LDVS adaptor "screen part number specific"? I've also got a stack of old laptop screens and think it would be cool to set up 5 or 6 monitors. Or build one giant screen :O Great video btw

red light *is yellow* Mysticle: oh its green

Thanks man I love this vid I made it and it works perfectly!

I actually need another monitor, and I never thought of doing this. I have three dead laptops laying around and now I can have a triple monitor setup!

Awesome hack. I like to see more videos like these.

4:48 how do you the what type and how much power ur screen needs? Like what’s the adapter that is needed

not even kidding, have watched every vid

Amazing, I was wondering if i could use my old portable dvd player for the same...is it possible?

im using my small tv from like 2007 as a 2nd monitor the color is terrible and im getting an upgrade for my current laptop 60hz to 144hz and dint wanna waste the old one this video is great im gonna go to home depot and make a wooden case for everything

what kind of power cable you use for the monitor? ... how many wats or volts??

whats the differnce between the controller boards, will some wrong one not work?

Quick question can the lvds control board work on the newer versions of macbook pro?

Is there any of these boards that will run the speakers you pull out of the laptop along with the monitor

I have an acer all in one that my dad was gonna throw out. It wasnt powering on which that model it is very common. Soooo ima try to make it a portable screen like the hori game monitor.

could theses technology be used as a portable monitor for game consoles or does it not have proper hdmi thinking about taking apart an old laptop and turning it into a gaming station using a suitcase I no longer use

Doesn't the laptop the monitor came from have a control board you can use?

How would I use it as a separate screen, or two, on my current laptop. Because my laptop with 2 full extra laptop screens would be amazing!

Hallo I have a question should the lvds board support my display model number or can I take any lvds board

Hey so I know this is old and prob won't get a response but I have a 1920x1080 120hz laptop that died and I'm planning on doing this conversion. But one thing I'm not sure about is whether or not I can use any LVDS board that's compatible or does it have to be a special board for higher refresh rates and resolutions. Thanks for any help anyone can offer

Great video. Funny how you jump from british to american. The 3 color input is composite. Component has 5 colors and is higher quality.

where did you get the power cable from? because this isnt a 25 dollar monitor if you have to buy a separate cable with a power brick

4:36 which way round? with the contacts facing in or out?

wow im about try it

Does this work with old MacBook pros

can universal control board can match with all model ???

What's bad about the screen having an invertor?

whats the problem with the inverter?

@venialivelizard

2 жыл бұрын

i looked into it a little. "A converter gets it’s incoming power from a theoretically endless supply; plugged in to an outlet or generator, while an inverter has a limited supply; the onboard battery bank, that must be monitored relatively closely to prevent depletion of the source." so what I'm guessing is you fry the monitor that uses an inverter because it's not built to handle the power from the outlet. An inverter changes the power from DC to AC, where as a converter changes it from AC to DC.

You can get free monitors off the freebie ads like craigslist and nextdoor in your neighborhood every once in a while, but I do have an really old slow laptop with a nice monitor, although, my most recent crap laptop has a terrible ruined screen so can't use that. You can get really cheap mini pcs these days and I thought that would be nice to pair with an old monitor for a second computer that is a Win pc as I have a mac laptop now. I think the old laptop case would come in handy to hold the old screen. I do worry that my older laptop might not have the right connectors or power rating, though. Need to know more about that.

If you harvest from a laptop you can typically re-use the shell if it's not broken, then you only need a case for the controller. That's about 3 dollars worth of scrap particle board or 3 dollars of plastic through a 3D printer at your local library it it happens to have one (unless you live in the UK, US or a third world country it's rather likely) A 6 dollar screw driver set is something you should own for a variety of reasons. You don't need a fancy set. Even my 15 year old nieces have saved more than 10x the value of the basic 6 dollar screwdriver sets that I bought for them.
