    Some of the connectors are for lvds(I believe) and speaker connections. There are two variations for this driver pcb. One for portable screen like this one; another for larger desktop displays which will need independent power source/voltage regulation for backlight.

    BTW, the 1,000 mile shipping should arrive within 2 days and deliver to me in person not just leaving the package at your driveway, if not I will get an apology from a real person or I might even have it for free. When I was in China.

    I gotta say, Taobao is the most amazing market ever. Amazon might fail oneday but Taobao will last forever. You can buy anything legal in Taobao. I also used a special cube nut to attach the acrylic, which is only available in Taobao as well. I bought 20 different screws and nuts for almost no...

    In case you are wondering, I use a piece of mirror stainless steel as the base structure to mount the panel and everything, I guess that's the reason why I make it. It's beautiful.

    - You only need a panel and a driver board(that comes with panel connection cable and control keyboard) to light it up. Every thing else is up to you. - I am no expert in this.

    GPU Geforce 20 series (RTX) discussion thread (E: 2070 Review unbargo!)

    Nvidia is out of tricks. Although the USB-C is tempting, I guess I will wait for TSMC 7nm AMD card. The only reason why GTX 10 series outperform AMD Vega so much is that TSMC 16nm is so much better than GF 14nm. In my opinion, Nvidia is more and more like a cancer in the industry. It’s against...
