I'm going to try the insanly difficult or stupid task of using an LCD panel pulled from a laptop to make a display out of it. I have the datasheet for it with the pinouts, specs, and other goodies, so I think it is feasable without too much work. I'd like to know if anyone here can tell me where to gwt good info on LVDS data communications, and if there are any references to downsampling color. The unit take 6 bits per color, and it would be nice to feed it a digital signal, but I suspect a ADC reading fom the analog lines with a 6 bip precision would be easier. This is round one of questions for this, there will probally be more later like effectivly sampling the RGB lines individually using the synch inputs to grap specific pixels, but feeding the panel right now is the big thing IMHO.
Save your self the time and money and forget it. If you do pull it off (which I will be amazed if you do) it will cost you a bomb. First of all try to find an ADC that can run at around 47mhz. Then I might come back to you.
Yeah, I'm with Lynx on this one. LCD controller boards don't cost £200 for no reason. They have a lot of complex stuff on that I doubt you can even buy in single units. Try if you like but make sure you reasearch and figure out EVERYTHING before putting money into it, otherwise you'll end up disappointed.
