Hi

Ive acquired this LCD panel from an old shop display unit. It runs on 12volts (wayhey) but Im unsure about how to get a display on it.

The video feed to the unit was from a DVD player and the red plug was plugged into the yellow 'video' socket on the DVD player. I have a Nvidia 8500GT card with one RGB output to my crt monitor. So I have a spare DVI output and S-Video output

use the s-video with a composite converter/adapter. That will most likely give you a PAL display with a resolution of 720*576 or 704*576.

I'm at school right now, and the pictures are blocked. I will look when I get home.

It will be something like this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882021048).

Perfect. The one Ive found has a cable which will make it easier to route back into the case
