      The board you’ve linked is correct.

      A VGA to HDMI will work just fine. A VGA board with inverter, cables, and keypad should be around 3.50€ to 5€ and a VGA-HDMI adapter around 2.50€

        How will the LCD display get its power? My LCD display has a two pole power plug 🤔

          That controller board is for a AUO B156XW02 panel. It’s also 1-CH 6-bit but with LED backlight. In principle it should work but it runs a higher resolution.(*) It’s best to order these boards specifically for the panel you have.

          I was referring to this kind of controller board plus VGA-HDMI adapter (only an example!). You configure those boards via jumpers.

          • That shouldn’t be a problem. You just have to configure the resolution within your operating system yourself.

            I’ll go for the aliexpress controller board. Only thing that worries me is that I don’t see a power cable. How will my display get power?

            And where does the controller board itself get its power from?

            Do I have to buy additional power cables at the local electronic hardware store?

              You see the red 6-pin connector? You apply 5V to them.
