Help finding a lcd-controller: LC420WUD-SBG1

I just contacted “trustyhl” on ebay. No luck there.

@cowboysdude there is, it’s the main control board - why would there have to be anything else?

To avoid all the unnecessary crap the TV companies put in their ICs, which is usually worse than modern monitors. We are talking about stuff like all the smart-tv stuff, “no signal” messages and so on.
Thats why we want a barebones controller where we can slam the HDMI signal in and display it on the panel. And not much more.

@krautgamer But why would manufacturers benefit from producing them? The market is incredibly small for such a minor benefit

In fact it is not. There are lots of usecases to reuse displays and there are several companies on ebay (and alibaba and such) selling these controller boards. It is just lacking support for uncommon displays. -
@yawns that’s exactly my point
