5" LCD Mod

[Ian]

Mikhailtech have an article on modding a 5" LCD into your case - with a surprisingly high quality display!

Many times I have wanted the ability to watch a movie while typing a paper, or be able to view Motherboard Monitor without intruding upon whatever application I happen to be running. Not having the desk space to place a second monitor, I looked for an alternative and settled on using a small LCD screen of the type often seen in cars and SUVs as headrest televisions.

In searching of an appropriate LCD screen there were several factors to be considered: size, depth and input type. Another factor to consider depending on the mounting location of the LCD is the amount of heat that will be produced by the screen. The screen that met all of these requirements is a 5" LCD from Parts Express. Even with the mounting brackets it's only 3/4” deep, and its 5 inch width makes it the perfect size.
