Turbo Express Composite Out Issues

I just received another batch of LCD's from the vendor I posted above and they all work beautifully:)

Received it too and works perfect, thanks Turbokon!
I also received this model that works fine too:

I hope a model eventually turns up that accepts S-Video, or better yet, RGB for this.

I don't know if you remember the 3.5" screen in my Express.  There's some room for improvement.    If these new screens are better, you might as well bring one along to MGC (if you have the time - if not, you can take my Express home with you).

Night, thought you were over the requirement of rgb/s-video compatible 3.5" LCD:)

Yeah, I remember yours.  I can say this is much better:)

Good googly moogly.  Sold!

Well, they do exist, 3.5" models with S-Video (+VGA), but they're expensive as hell so far...

The crazy expensive one:

And the less expensive one ($185):

That's really too bad, I can't find anything cheaper.

With proper chip data and a jtag all the screens support RGB

[NightWolve]

Are you saying you could tap the RGB+S signal lines somewhere in the PCB of the $20 Composite-only models that you're using, steve ? I figured that you have those complex ICs and they take the Composite signal and immediately convert to digital and off it goes to run the LCD, so I kinda thought it can't be done with those models.

What's jtag?

[thesteve]

those ic's in the $20 monitors have svid and rgb inputs, disabled by software

[NightWolve]

Aaaaah, I see. There's hope, just won't be easy.

[thesteve]

looks like a jtag job

Here is another good LCD.

Goods:
Fuller images
No "AV1" or "AV2" indication showing up
Great picture quailty

Bads:
No asylic screen for using with the 3.5" TE mod.
No setting dials.

My TurboExpress has the capacitor blues and I've already ordered a cap kit to fix it, but I'm thinking about diving in with a screen upgrade while I have the thing open. I can't find a tut to do this anywhere on the board however, anybody got a linky handy?

Turbokon: what is an asylic screen, why is it needed?? All the screens you linked here look dope but I like that last one for not showing the AV1 etc.
