Cool little thing for kind of cheap... do you know what kind of thing it's meant to plug into? And is it full color? Looks like a DVD screen replacement to me

well i dunno it looked cool and it was cheap and it seems like somehow it'd have some use someday so i have a ps one.. u know those mini ones i'd like to hook up... a graphic analyzer for music would be nice.... i'm thinking of stuffing the ps one into my glove box... and somehow get this screen on my car somewhere, suggestions anyone? also theres another one of these being sold on ebay by the same guy... a lot of his other lcd screens are laptop pulls so the sides look nasty, this one isnt specified where its from, i hope that second pic is an lcd controller... but i need RCA inputs [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG]

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2003522909

and yes it'll make my car fly... now all it takes is creativity... gps possibility etc... i already have a mp8017 in dash mp3 player... if i can somehow put that in the cig lighter, put the screen where the radio goes.. well its 10 inches nevermind that could be too big.... maybe i'll just have it come up from the side of my seat... yea i'll probably do that.... anyways anyone with some background knowledge on lcds

Hmm...I don't know if you noticed or not, but the second pic is just the back of the monitor. I don't see how the hell you're gonna hook that up. If you have some serious electronics skills, you might be able to rig something up...but I dunno. Maybe you can take it to a good computer shop in your area and see if they can do anything for you as far as adapting it to work with RCA inputs. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

well it was only $16 so even if you cant find a use for it, its not too big a loss, plus you could just sell it on ebay again[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

Hey its only $15..thats nothing at all. Just the other day a girl I know spent $80 on beer in one night at a pub. And what does she have to show for it? Nothing! Maybe you can find a good use for that screen, or like was just mentioned, sell it on ebay again.

Time to enlighten you noobs [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]


It's an LCD screen that is used to connect to computers. They are primarly used for in car computers. To run that thing, you need to buy a controller card, backlight inverter. That runs about $350 shiped (I just bought one). I'll take it off your hands if you don't feel like $350 to run it.

You can get a controller card at Earth LCD. I don't think you'll want to use that screen though it's huge! Let me have it

Once you get the controller card, then you have to get a computer to hook it up to! It's a lot of work, and money but I'm doin it! I spent about $1500 on my setup with my carputer. Pics coming soon

Call them up, and ask them. They'll ask for what kind of screen you have (Model number, and brand) and they'll redirect you to the right kind. You have to buy a kit which usually runs for about $300...
