    i assume so, it has the same connectors to the PSone as any other Psone LCD screen, so i'm pretty sure you could, although because i've never gone down this route or looked into it much i'm not sure.

    How will the LCD get power?

    Can I connect it to the PSU? 5 or 12V?

    Ok, I see that you have to mod the cigaret lighter for cars. 7.5V.

    Is it easy?

    Do I need a solder?

    Don't assume so. Most 3rd party companies that develop these screeens do not add support for RGB-IN whatsoever. Hence it will not work nearly as well, most likely not even at all (nearly as well meaning no C-sync, H-sync, etc).

    Had mine wired using a mix between Serio's and Starfox's diagrams, havent had time to mount it in my new project yet.

    well to be honest i can't see that much of a difference in quality, font 8 is readable. And for the price and lack of hassle, i'm happy ;p

    bee i see you ran into the problem of having to hotswap the monitors, i had this too when i did the vga mod but apparently its to do with the resistances on the rgb chanels not being high enough/being too high to be detected as a monitor, apparently you can solder resistors between the colour chanels and ground to get it detected ::Link:: here but i dont know if this will affect the signal.
    3D games and stuff look fine, i had a problem where anarchy online refused to load on my main screen and would only load on the psone screen and there was no noticable lag, its a really nice tft.
    Your tutorial says the screen pulls 3 amps, its actually much less than that as the 3amp psu is made to power both the screen and the playstation similtaneously and id imagine the playstation probably wants a good 2 amps
    Great tutorial tho definatly the most complete ive seen, really nice work on the case too.

    ps. the video problem is to do with screen overlays, you need to turn off using overlays in mediaplayer, cant remember where but its definatly there, then try playing full screen using mediaplayer and it should be fine. :)

    I just exercised the platic and ordered one off ebuyer, £38 with postage as im splitting it with a friend on some ram i have ordered him too, I'm toying with the idea of making a Holder from bent Acrylic or attatch the panel to my wall, i also need a DVI to VGA connector, i have one somewhere but its easier to buy a new one.

    NOOOOOOOO
    can you please try to remember :(
    i tried taking out interlaced but then it split the display into 4 screens and flickered pretty bad...im not sure if i could produce a clean imade, the best i got was an overlapped flickered image of 2 displays (deinterlaced mode) and i also read somewhere that deinterlaced wont work?
    there arent really any other display profile options that you can change

    well im doing an install of the screen at the moment which il hopefully get the basics done over the weekend, when i get it in il reinstall powerstrip and mess about with it again, I definatly prefered the vga but i couldnt be assed hotswaping a monitor every time i start my pc so i moved to composite while i was using it. Its currently sat in a heap of parts on my desk tho so i cant test it right now
