      Hi all,

      Need to build α magic mirror for my bathroom and i am a bit on the stuck side regarding h/w needed.

      I do have a 13.3 monitor out of an old laptop,
      http://www.panelook.com/B133XW01 V0_AUO_13.3_LCM_overview_441.html

      I am considering buying a universal controller like this one,
      https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/A81-2-PA-V56-V59-Universal-LCD-Driver-Board-DVB-T2-TV-Remote-Controller-3663/143556583408?hash=item216ca39ff0:g:7JoAAOSwcIxeXcrN

      I have noticed that there are other options as well but since an additional requirement is to drive an 8Ω 10w 6" speaker through this, i believe this is my best bet (it says that its audio output is 2ch 8W)

      3 questions,

      1. Do i need to buy an additional led backlight driver and if yes will the following do the job?

      https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Backlight-LED-Constant-Current-Board-Driver-Board-12-connecters-LED-Strip-Tes-ns/352821281750?hash=item5225c983d6:g:b8cAAOSw~kBc4iWw
      It has so many channels and cables that confuses me of which to plug, if any…
      Is there any other option, simpler-leaner?

      1. If you notice on the panelook link at the backlight section, it says that it is “with a led driver”. So does this mean that i do not need an extra driver? Hence, can the monitor just be plugged with the controller and work?

      2. Will the controller handle the above spec’d speaker or will i need to install an amplifier as well?

      thank you very much!
