4" Screen Source

[wolfman]

I finally found a SOURCE!!!

 

There is  a vendor in China selling 4" screens, that are a *** PERFECT *** match!

Certainly * not * a cheap option, but worth considering as soon as you get a dying screen or already have a dead one!

It accepts CVBS/Composite AS WELL AS RGB -  though I didn´t try this for space reasons. Too many cables add up on the bottom of the motherboard, and you can´t fit it back into the shell, I can prove that, cause I´ve tried to.

The screen beautifully aligns with borders of the screen shell, you get a little black border of the screen itself, so you can line it up perfectly when switched on. It accepts a 9V source, down to 6V (tested), so you can easily solder it directly to the power tap.

Here´s the source:

Hmm, good website for these monitors! Found a 3.5" for the Express mod size that supports RGB and is $18.90:

Wonder if it'd work. There are a lot more there to search for though!

Better check out if they match the board you´re intend using. This one won´t come with it. Alibaba is a WYSIWYG. I felt safe ordering in the past, they also have a similar buyer protection like the one from Paypal.

the panels support DRGB or DYUV, its the board that counts (generally)

Could you recommend a board that would drive my 4" (with matching connector/pinout) and accept 5V input?

sadly i couldn't
i haven't seen much in separate controller boards
also the board needs to be programmed to match the screen (there are only a few formats used)
