To avoid all the unnecessary crap the TV companies put in their ICs, which is usually worse than modern monitors. We are talking about stuff like all the smart-tv stuff, “no signal” messages and so on.
Thats why we want a barebones controller where we can slam the HDMI signal in and display it on the panel. And not much more.
I just contacted “trustyhl” on ebay. No luck there.
Yeah, I found that as well. But would that not be the 1:1 replacement of the mainboard I just ripped off the TV with all the internal logic, software and all that stuff we usually don’t want? :)
Hey builders,
I’m planning a glorious 42" magic mirror. The raspi is fine, the software is running like a champ, but my lack of experience with hardware really makes it hard for me to pinpoint the correct hardware needed.
So here I am: I stripped a 42" TV to the LCD. (I left the inverter and the t-con board in place.) When I enter the serial “LC420WUD-SBG1” with the keyword “controller” into google I find a lot of replacement party, but no actual controller board.
Did I hit a dead end? Is there no controller for my screen?
Thanks for all your help!
