        "
        The disadvantage is that it’s not powering back on after it went into standby mode (- can be solved with a relay if wanted).
        "

        🤔, this is not fine either…

        So Maybe there is an alternative? Or I have to buy a vga tot HDMI convertor 🤔

          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.
