I have a 15" XGA 1024x768 LCD fully un assembled . Worked quite nicely after all. Although I have one question, this was not connected via ordinary VGA cable, but a smaller cable off the monitor. I need to know how I could run my pinout to the VGA, analogue or S-Video.

Here's a standard VGA pinout:

Here is my LCD pinout:

For reference, here is was the LCD cable looks like (this is the circuitry, well part of it, it is labeled pinout):

so the profile pc (is that a brand?) had a special lead to drive this monitor?

if this is what i think it is .... a PC with LCD built in, i'd think it's more along the laptop type display and needs the driver cards to work. unless you can fit the whole thing into the projector i don't think you will find a cheap solution.

The "Profile PC" is Gateway's all in one solution to compete with the Apple IMac's. Unfortunately stvartak86 you're in the same boat as everyone wanting to get laptop LCD's to work with a video card's DB15 connector. You can't just wire it up with a simple electronic circuit. You'll need an analog to digital controller card that works with your "LG LM151X2" LCD panel. Daesung Electric has a controller specific to that model LCD. You might also wanna' check out EarthLCD. If you're on a tight budget and will not be using the "Profile PC" then I suggest putting it back together, selling it, and getting an LCD monitor with VGA in like you want. That would be the cheapest solution in the long run unless you're a blackbox hacker like me and must reverse engineer everything you get your hands on.

heh hyper, yeah well it was worth a shot I guess. Maybe I can use the LCD with something else. I know Genesis Micro System has a SWEET card with analoug, s-video, vga in and out, component and cable wideo all in one. although, I can't find anywhere to buy one! They are pretty cheap too (less that 100 dollars). Thanks though, I am still going to try, if that doesn't work ubid.com sells monitors cheap! (ie i got the N6 off there for 30 dollars new)

PS that www.earthlcd.com has some pretty nifty looking LCD kits, maybe I can try building a smaller model projector eventually

New N6 for $30!

helllzzzz yeah hahaha! I was like OHMY buy now buy now! New they go for 130+

I hear brain talkign about a n6 for 30 bucks off of ubid as well, how are people getting them so cheap, best i can find is 105.

Guess the seller wised up and stopped setting the starting bid so low. Oh well, a few lucky people got them
