So I came across this new 640x480 LCD panel with a VGA input, and besides being a bit smaller than the CC screen space, it otherwise seems perfect (with a 575 aka Mystic motherboard and the VGA mod):

However, the only info I can get on putting an LCD inside a CC is incredibly vague:

Anyone have any more info/experience?
Thanks in advance, Nathan
There are two issues:
1. The extra 'estate' round the edge of any LCD screen display area. It's impossible to tell how much there is on the one you link to without removing the plastic surround. Check out the Taco threads and pictures on the CC Forum (new and old) to see what I mean:

2. Making the CC (575 board, G3 board, or whatever) produce a (S)VGA signal to send to the LCD screen interface. Logic boards from beige G3s do that nicely - CC and 575 l/bs don't, unless you use a PDS video card. Again, it's been discussed widely on the CC fora.
Happy searching!
