Not sure what board my VGA one uses, but it doesn't seem to have a backlight control either, just general brightness/contrast controls.

Maybe try contacting Laserbear and see if he can give you any advice.

Also maybe try a different PSU if you can, the 12V one that came with mine is possibly the lightest one I've ever had...

To clarify, is the reason people say not to use the included HDMI cable because it is poor quality/faulty or because it can't do 2048x1536@60hz? I used it for a bit and it did that resolution fine with my RTX 4070, but now I'm worried it could've damaged something.

Yes, the included HDMI cable simply didn’t have the required bandwidth for proper native resolution; there was no indication of any sort of possible damage.

Of course it’s possible that the cable has been upgraded since then by various vendors.

Hi everyone,

thanks for this wonderful thread. I want to buy one of these screens, but none of the links in the thread are available to Spain.

I was able to find this one: https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005005588053346.html

Anyone can say looking at the controller if this is the one that will support both 50hz and 60hz?

Seller answered that version doesn’t support 50hz

They blocked the Netherlands as well, a while ago, a friend of mine wanted to buy one.

I did hear multiple stories about people receiving ones with all kinds of problems before I knew that we were blocked. So maybe they have been scraping the bottom of the barrel with the quality of the iPad displays they are using.

I do have one, so they were available to us before that.

Sad to hear them blocking entire countries from sale.

My advice, DIY. Aquire the driver controller and bid on ebay for broken ipads. best bet is to buy a 'lot' of a few.

the best ones are 'icloud locked' but sometimes the value are lots with shattered screens, a lot of the time the underlying LCD is perfectly fine!

Hello guys,

I've spent many hour to have an image on my screen but nothing

The screen is working via my OSSC also with my MacBook but for a reason that I don't known, I have no image with the mister.

try modifying the INI file
try changing the HDMI

Nothing!

any idea ?

my screen is with mini USB-A / mini HDMI

UPDATE : after reseting the screen in the OSD MENU got finally an image

UPDATE 2 : it's not the reseting that help but it's when I plug my OSSC that the mister FPGA can work... I don't understand it seems that the HDMI need to be plugged to make the mister work... crazy

UPDATE 3 : it seems that my cable are in cause
Need to buy good cable to have something good

Regards,

Yes, this is pointed out in the very first post:
viewtopic.php?p=34418#p34418

do not use the included mini-HDMI cable, it isn’t capable of handling the full resolution, get a high-speed HDMI-to-mini-HDMI from a reputable supplier instead — I use the AmazonBasics one, works fine.

Hi

Love Any idea if we can Rotate the image in the screen ?

I’d like to have hdmi/USB at left instead of right

If it can help i’ve discuss with alixpress reseller

The screen is also available in his online store
