Hey guys!
I've recently found a small (7") LCD screen laying around in my house.... which I want to make a 2nd monitor for my pc (to see skype calls videos teamspeak while gaming), and I really have no idea where to ask it... I know my LCD model, and I understood you need a controller for that (as the LCD doesnt have a native connection to the pc...) and I didn't really get it... the only controller i've found is this but I can't understand whether it will connect to my pc?

Anyway, my LCD model is HSD070I651... thanks in advance :)
If you don't know... do you know any forum that does such things?

The LCD is just... an lcd screen... with no controller, no DVi \ VGA outputs

.. Why would a monitor, a device used to display incoming signals need outputs???

You need to look at what inputs it has, and work from there.

It's like a laptop input. It's really weird.

Does the screen have some kind of video in? Composite, Component, RF?
If none of those, you're probably better off just buying a second monitor from a thrift or something. :)

Not really a screen technic... its just and LCD with this orange paper-like plug with 26 pins...

The controller you linked also has no way to accept a video signal in from the computer.
I think this is a very difficult project. I've seen talk about people wanting to do this type of thing for years, but never a success story that didn't involve a standard input.

I always wanted to to something like this with a palm tx, never found a way to do it.
