Re: Design a VGA control board for an LCD.

Hi,

I currently have an 21" NEC LCD that can handle 1280x1024 of
resolution. I'd like to build a simple card to accept VGA signal and
control the LCD after that.

I saw some off-the-shelf controller card, but they seem to be expensive
and not very widely available for ordering.

Is there other off-the-shelf IC or card that can do such a thing ?

Thanks.

I'm not entirely clear what you're after. Are you saying that you just have
the glass and want the interface card, or do you have the whole monitor
without a VGA input?

Digital View makes interface cards
http://www.digitalview.com/controllers/products.php however I'm not too sure
of the current pricing, or availability in small quantities. I redesigned
the model MAV-1280 LCD card for them in early 2000 to get it to pass CE, and
I can tell you that there is nothing simple about it. You will also need the
inverter board to operate the backlight.

If you know of a monitor which uses that glass, you could look for a broken
one on eBay to get the driver boards.
