Solve : What's needed to build a Monitor?

Answer»

Hello, my husband bought what he thought was a FULL flat screen monitor from a bid site and when we received it, it was just a panel. He showed me and figured I'd know what to do with it SINCE I'm the computer nerd in the family. I have no idea, I've never build a monitor. So my question is what do I need and how do I go about putting it together?

Info on the panel is -

  • Solar Technologies 19 inch AUO TFT M190PW01 Part Number: M190PW01
  • Panel Type: TFT
  • Panel Size; 19 inches
  • Panel Resolution: 1280 x 1024 SXGA

I would love to get this thing working, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.Quit now while you're ahead - you haven't made a fool of yourself or committed vast resources - yet.

If all you've got is the panel SHOWN below (attachment) then start from the top - you're gonna need:
1. A frame to hold the panel
2. A stand to hold the frame
3. All the necessary sockets to connect the panel to a pc
4. Cables from the panel to the pc
5. A driver for the panel

The list is ALMOST endless. You may be able to pick up a unit in which the panel itself has failed (EBay etc..) and just swap the new panel into it.

Good luck.


[recovering space - attachment deleted by admin]I have never attempted such a thing, but I know it is quite a job and I don't know if it would really be worth the effort. If you're able to return the panel (this is a gray AREA with auctions), then you may want to do so.
