      Thanks Again!

      I’ll go for the MT561-B

      Will This one be fine?:

      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.
