LED retrofit for BOE-Hydis

#1 Post by Mindfulness Quebec » Sun May 22, 2016 4:12 pm

If this has already been covered in a different thread, I apologize---but has anyone done a satisfactory LED retrofit with a fading HV150UX1-100 or 101? I assume not, since I only see discussion of the factory-equipped LED model, HV150UX2-100.

Hey,

I have no info about LED retrofitting but I do share same interest in single environment sharing over multiple machines (T601F plus 3xA31p in my case). I haven't much time to tinker lately so my best shot so far was an TeamViewer server running on FrankenPad and a client session running on A31p. I did forced windows graphic driver to simulate additional UXGA display over VGA and forced remote client to connect to that virtual working space.
If you want to use more than two displays and do not need to use Windows OS and you can try to port your host machine to Linux and use VNC server. Proper VNC server like an RealVNC support virtual mode which may solve your problem.
There's also KVM software like Synergy project, but it does share your mouse and keyboard over multiple machines instead of sharing working environment over multiple machines.

Apologies, I have moved the slave array idea to a thread of its own! Thanks for adding to my list of alternatives, though I'm pretty much set on a Windows environment because of applications I use, such as WordPerfect.

I'd venture a guess that the answer is "no" myself. Hydis panels are a pain to work on when it comes to CCFL replacement, and the very real possibility of introducing dust specs within the layers of the screen in the process is highly likely to make any LED conversion a disaster.
