I heard that a little while back, it was all the rage in Korea, I think, to buy the panels and necessary electronics then build your own housing for a monitor. Perhaps this is all in my imagination, but I remember hearing about it when first reading about the cheapo Korean monitors.
Now, the reason I ask is, why couldn't we do this? Panels are readily available on alibaba (and probably other places) and if I'm not mistaken, most use an LVDS connector, for which there exist plenty of generic adapters to standard input connections. If it were possible to get a group together to build niche type monitors, that would be wonderful. For example, my primary use is text, and so high PPI is important. What about a 13 inch 1920x1080 secondary screen for reading books or papers or code. Or even better, I think I saw the panel used in the chromebook pixel available!
Just think, the possibilities are endless... or I could be nuts. Either way, I'm new here, so be nice?
