Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “A PC With an Internal Display? It’s More Likely Than You Think!”.
Foreign, this is the machine I use for capture this contraption on the front. This is called embedded DisplayPort, It’s actually an iPad screen. This thing is really cool because I can carry it with the handle. It’S a slide your case, it’s pretty nice and plug it in and do capture capture bios whatever it is that I need to do it’s a pretty powerful machine to be able to capture pretty decent quality video, so I’ve got an adapter on this that converts it From embedded DisplayPort to regular DisplayPort and there can be a lot of different embedded DisplayPort connectors – I was talking to ASRock about this and they have something pretty exciting.
Asrock sent me this embedded DisplayPort screen to use in my experiments. This is like a laptop screen. What you would normally find with a laptop – and it has the built-in embedded DisplayPort connector, which means that this is basically a full display ready to go. It’S super thin where ASRock sees this, as maybe being useful, is for case monitors, so I have the their most inexpensive motherboard. That has a built-in embedded DisplayPort connector.
It is the h610 M ITX EDP and I’ve also got an I3 CPU. We’Re going to do a test build with this, but ASRock. Actually, when I launched their z790 motherboards, almost all the z790 motherboards have a built-in embedded DisplayPort connector, so you can do some pretty fun case mods. So we’ve got this.
The lien Lee Dynamic 011 and I asked Amber to design some 3D printable brackets for holding this screen. Yeah. That’S right! This screen fits almost perfectly in the front panel of our Lee and Lee Dynamic 011. Let’S get building a cute little Alder Lake I3 or 12 100 with its four P cores motherboard is basically good to go now.
The EDP connector is on the back of the motherboard, so we want to very very gently install our connector there, so the connector will come off the bottom edge of the motherboard like so and then hopefully, it’ll connect somewhere up here for our EDP panel. Now the connector on the screen is a little more interesting. It has a mechanical flap, so you sort of flip that up slide the connector in and then gently because remember, you’re, pressing down on LCD screen, uh press down on the flap, and it should sort of very subtly click into place. Now, I’m actually going to use this ITX board in an upgrade for my video capture machine.
I recommend that you take a look at some of those z790 motherboards that have the built-in embedded DisplayPort connector from ASRock. You can do like. I did, and you know, adapt what you have so that it works with a regular DisplayPort, connector or even USBC. You can order that on the internet, but I like this better, there’s, also a protective film on the LCD. That’S what the yellow tab is. Pull that off last because you’re going to get fingerprints on it, otherwise, now I’m sure that you can think of something really cool to do with this with a much higher end system.
Me I’m going to use this as an upgrade for my video capture machine, but if you decide to get one of these motherboards and build them, I think the live streamer series. That’S probably going to be super popular because it’s you know, you’re a streamer and you want to show stuff off and you replace the side panel of one of your computers with an LCD screen. Okay makes sense, I’m one of this level one. This has been another look at embedded, DisplayPort and all the creative uses you can have for it, whether it’s a monitor on an arm built into a computer with a handle or replacing a side panel for your computer.
I don’t know I just thought this was a quick, easy fun project and I’m sort of delighted to see ASRock trying something different. I mean motherboards are all kind of samey right. This is pretty cool, and if this takes off USBC to embedded DisplayPort Port adapters, those will be pretty common so that you can connect this kind of thing. I like it, it’s pretty awesome. Most video cards will support up to four attached displays, but since pretty much any CPU now also has the display option. You may need to enable the igpu multi-display option in BIO so that it’ll use the onboard GPU as well as your add industry GPU. But it couldn’t be easier and simpler and it doesn’t really have an extra load or or anything like that for the system and having a display literally built into your computer for stats or anything like that is pretty cool. So I know some of you already have like the little embedded. Seven inch displays and there’s a lot of cool software for those but share what you use below. Maybe I’ll create a forum on the level one thread for cool stuff people have done with displays that are built into their computer.
If you remember, I used the same case to turn the front into a touch screen for a Linux machine to do SSH authorizations with the Raspberry Pi touch screen. So this isn’t the first time I’ve done something like this, but comparatively this is Plug and Play you just plug it in and you’re done you don’t have to do anything crazy, like I did I’m one of those level one I’m signing out. You can find me in the level one forums .
