I've been thinking about doing this mod myself for a few years now, especially now I'm thinking about a new build. The pi-route is the way I'd go too, set and forget, maybe hook the pi up to on-board usb for power and script the display loop on startup.

@ethancotton1549 2 года назад

This is actually really smart how it works. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the screen turns on its opening the filters that would normally allow the backlight to come through which would be coloured from the reflectors, but since there is no backlight panel, or reflector on the screen it just turns transparent.

@Ananords 2 года назад

Yes! That is correct. White on a LCD is not actually showing white, it's just letting through the white backlight.

@ethancotton1549 2 года назад

@Ananords so the LEDs that were put on the sides and top are there so that the black objects moving on the display screen are viewable right? They can be powered from a separate power supply?

@Ananords 3 года назад

Take a continuity test between one of the mounting holes (often grounded) and the pins to find GND. Then, measure voltage between that pin and the rest. You can also try googling the serial number of the power supply and driver board.

The schematics for the board are usually available on the internet but it's also very common for the traces to be labeled.

@BrianThomas 3 года назад

You know I'm curious why someone would give this a thumbs down. To me it's clearly a very clever build that was recorded and edited very well. A lot of hard work went into the build and the video production. One thing I'd like to add is that this looks like a great opportunity to use a raspberry pi zero to drive the display without using the PC's GPU. The Pi zero can easily do 1080P video with VNC access.

@flyingcobra_8085 2 года назад

Pi is what they are using for smart mirrors. So yea it definitely would work.

@inhaletimetimeinhale2519 2 года назад

@stevefox3763 Год назад

I have been keeping my eye out for this display for a few months now due to its aspect ratio and just picked up two for free, i could use any panel with an LVDS driver board but wanted this screen because of its shape but the ease of using the existing driver board is so trivial its not even worth using an aftermarket LVDS board and to make things even easier, my screens board has the voltages printed on the PCB next to each pin!

@BoomBrush 3 года назад

Why did you remove the "top layer" as that looks to me like you just removed the polarization filter and is required for an LCD to work. Or was that a different layer of film/plastic? Because when you remove the polarization filter all you see is straight through (with a backlight, white) so I'm not quite sure what is going on lol.

@NicolaosSoldal 3 года назад

That's the AG coating, the water helps separate it from the polariser. If you don't do this you will have the foggy look.

I was wondering if this was still being talked about, and done by case modders. I did my own snowblind mod, but my variation uses all plug and play componants that are powered off of the USB of the motherboard, including the display, granted it is more expensive than the tearing down an old scrap monitor like most people do method but, it is still cheaper than buying the case from ibuypower, and it can be done to virtually any case, and swapped between cases pretty easily. I bet even a small form factor pc could be done. Good work. I may post a video of my version so that people who want a version that doesn't require soldering can try my version.
