Dell Monitor 19" 1905FP for my Magic Mirror

kusselin

Hello everybody,

I have the above monitor and would like to use this one for my Magic Mirror. There are instructions on how to dismantle the monitor on the Internet:

My question to the experts … which KIT do I still need for the display to work? Or can I use the panels from the monitor?

I would be very grateful if you could send me a link from the components that I need … Thank you very much.

or do I need the extra controller board in any case?

Hello Friend.

here some links for your panel:

Important:

search for version v.1: M190EN03 V1
You also need a power adapter (Ouput 12V/4A) for it.

ebay

AliExpress

good luck

one more question about the power supply …

if the voltage were higher … would the controller break? Does it have to be exactly 12V / 4W !!?

I can supply the Raspberry Pi with power with the MicroUSB on the USB on the controller … right?

Is the power adapter big for a connect to the pi?

Hi, Friend.

Yes, you need two power supplies!
The standard one 4 the Raspberry pi 3 (5V/2,5A) or (5V/3A) for version pi 4.

For your panel you need the 12 V/4A (ampere) not 4W (wat) power supply.
4W ist to poor power. This one has 12*4=48W

Please read “Instruction to connect the controller board to the LCD” for example in the board specs at ebay.

Best regards
