All I see is hot Asian's?

Yup that is all I see as well.

At first I was like how are you people even able to see these so called "hot asians." Then I go to the first post, and boy oh boy you were right lol.

That's what awaits us who use image hosting services.

the 1st images were helpful at the time, but with the advancements that have been made since then I can tell you newer images would be more helpful. He used a video board and had to sacrifice the battery port to make it fit. What specifically did you want to check out?

The images on the first page are up the spout, can someone re-upload them please

Hahaha, I was wondering what you guys are talking about... That's funny. So it appears he used a free Chinese image host and the domain got grabbed by somebody else, a dating service, I dunno, but yeah...

I had to check the original post, too. I was confused.

you know it comes to my attention it is a possibility of using native RGB with the raspberry screens they are touch screen but I don't think that matters these are cheap there about 20 bucks and we should be able to connect directly to the motherboard on the back check out this link below and let me know you think

I've been waiting for a RGB model myself in the usual price range. I didn't see anything in the description that made clear an analog RGB signal is accepted, though. Somebody has to research more and take the risk in buying one.

Aspect ratio is 2:3.

I should also note that I have enough resistors, etc. to do about 50 of these. I just need to unpack the box and check with thesteve to see if the fix has changed in the last few years. I'll update this thread when I have a more clear picture.

nice I look forward to seeing your work when I was looking at these raspberry LCD screens I know that there are connector is directlyit may be a simple it may be a simple option to solder directly to those inputs to achieve the goal but of course I'm not an electrical engineer some kind of shooting in the dark here

I decided to look a little bit deeper and the imputs are on the top connector maybe a simple process of plugging in the correct cables here is the interface plugs and what each one does
Interface

PIN NO.   SYMBOL   DESCRIPTION
1, 17   3.3V   Power positive (3.3V power input)
2, 4   5V   Power positive (5V power input)
3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16   NC   NC
6, 9, 14, 20, 25   GND   Ground
11   TP_IRQ   Touch Panel interrupt, low level while the Touch Panel detects touching
18   LCD_RS   Instruction/Data Register selection
19   LCD_SI / TP_SI   SPI data input of LCD/Touch Panel
21   TP_SO   SPI data output of Touch Panel
22   RST   Reset
23   LCD_SCK / TP_SCK   SPI clock of LCD/Touch Panel
24   LCD_CS   LCD chip selection, low active
26   TP_CS

in other words its a serial data display

[SmokeMonster]

For anyone using this type of screen, do you still have access to the settings somehow (brightness, etc)?
