true chinkshit product

2019-03-18 18:05:28 UTC  

magical chinkshit yes i've been linked that 3 times this morning
i already have a nice laptop but i want to lug around extra screens for it as needed

2019-03-18 18:07:21 UTC  

ahh

2019-03-18 18:07:36 UTC  

entire laptop cost about as much as his 32gb RAM and 2tb (!) nvme

2019-03-18 18:07:37 UTC  

wait that thing is just extra chinkscreen ?

2019-03-18 18:08:42 UTC  

on the preview it looked like laptop

2019-03-18 18:09:40 UTC  

i bought a LCD panel (+ backlight) and the chip to interface its 40pin embedded DisplayPort (? i think) to HDMI
for $55

this man bought an old thinkpad chassis retrofitted with a custom motherboard manufactured in shenzen
with high end current-gen laptop components like CPU and insane screen

2019-03-18 18:09:45 UTC  

for $1200

2019-03-18 18:09:48 UTC  

i mean you could ask the seller about what panel they are using

2019-03-18 18:09:52 UTC  

(and controller too)

2019-03-18 18:09:57 UTC  

not including his own RAM and ssd

2019-03-18 18:10:02 UTC  

to prevent flicker/etc suprises

2019-03-18 18:10:29 UTC  

and yes
the blogger linked the panel but it's not a common one
i bought the cheapest one i could find because e x p e r i m e n t a l

2019-03-18 18:11:44 UTC  

you can get cheap replacement screens for a variety of portables like laptops, ipads, etc
the hard part is converting their tinyass internal ribbon connector to a sane port like HDMI
which is where magical chinks come in

2019-03-18 18:12:23 UTC  
2019-03-18 18:13:32 UTC  

each woulda been about $55 per panel + $40/chip if done right
then 4k monitors came in

2019-03-18 18:58:40 UTC  

is the /csg/ review bot still up?

2019-03-18 18:59:01 UTC

2019-03-18 19:01:01 UTC

2019-03-18 19:01:41 UTC

2019-03-18 19:01:51 UTC

2019-03-18 19:03:00 UTC

2019-03-18 19:03:11 UTC

truely wireless bt earbuds without cutting out when

2019-03-19 00:18:47 UTC  

Are there any cheaper forms of this anywhere? All the ones I've found that are cheaper are arranged differently.
