| 1162705 | 2010-12-16 23:55:00 | A while Back I asked if anyone knew where to buy single LCD panels, since no one knows I guess I'm going to be buying a nice shiny monitor and shredding it. Can anyone recommend me a nice LCD display that gives a good picture and fits most (doesn't have to be all) of the specs below? also bear in mind that I don't care about the aesthetics, i'm only after the LCD panel. Specs: This monitor will be used as the display for a multi touch table, there fore it needs a relatively wide viewing angle, not extreme though. Digital input (DVI HDMI) as well as VGA Less than 32'' 720p or less (over 720p the pixel density reduces the amount of IR light that can pass through the LCD matrix giving poor quality "blobs") Preferably Widescreen. Also, preferably less than $500 Thanks! |

(try 'spare LCD panel' in Google) Don't forget of course that you still need something to drive it, and something to power that, and the backlights. |

| 1162707 | 2010-12-17 08:38:00 | Yeah, thats the poblem, I can find spare panel suppliers but not many of them come with driving circuits. back lights are no issue, to make the LCD suitable for MT we strip the diffusers and endlighten out of the LCD leaving just the LCD matrix, which is semi transparent. a back light has to be custom built in all circumstances. I never thought of ebay though. I might try. |

| 1162709 | 2010-12-17 09:53:00 | This has VGA, DVI and HDMI and audio in/out. But its 1080P. So, are you after a touch panel kit then? |

| 1162710 | 2010-12-17 20:46:00 | well, its kind of a touch kit I guess. its for one of these: wiki.nuigroup.com(LLP) I all ready have the Laser units, I just need a screen. The end result will be similar to this: www.youtube.com except more aesthetically pleasing. His version is FTIR (frustrated total internal refraction) or DSI (diffused surface illumination), mine will be LLP (Laser light pane) becase LLP is cheaper than DSI and LLP because I don't need a compliant surface or acrylic (good acrylic is expensive) |

| 1162711 | 2010-12-19 11:25:00 | Now that I think about it, probably makes most sense to just use a monitor. You get your drive circuit, and power supply as well, then. Although I would advise on preemptive capacitor replacement in the PSU, as it would most likely be full of capacitors made by Hong-Kong Flyapart Corp. However even then, you may have problems with the inverter causing shutdown, if you try to run it without the CCFLs connected... |
