New member Username: LecyleNewport, North Carolina USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Aug-06 | Hi, everyone new in town. Wanted to know if anyone could lend some info on how to convert my HannStar HSD150PX14-A LCD screen to a tv? The HannStar still has all of it's orignal connections. I have some ideals for turning it into a possible projection screen tv. Peace and Chicken Grease |

It's the actual 32 pin connector that has the +/-, horinz </>, vertical u/d, etc. I haven't gotten into the wonderful world of tv's and monitors, just yet, but if I could get some help it would be a good start. Thanx |

There's nothing wrong with it, I just can't tell what wires do what, what sort of power supply I need, and if it's worth my time trying to make it into a tv. I also have a kit, that if I can make it into a tv, I will be able to use it as a projection screen tv, or some portable tv. Thanx |

They don't like their product being used in an application that I want to use it for..."That whole making money scheme or something" But thank you Jexx for the advice, and I know where to come to for all of my TV S-Video to Laptop conversions..... just joking, you know I'm only serious....Thanx |
