lcd display htpc case are the most commonly used displays, as they produce great image quality while consuming low power. Rather than emitting light directly, they use back lights or reflectors to produce images, which allows for easy readability even under direct sunlight. lcd display htpc case are energy-efficient, and are comparatively safer to dispose of, than CRTs. lcd display htpc case are much more efficient when it comes to usage in battery-powered electronic equipment, due to their minimal power consumption.

Some other advantages of lcd display htpc case over the CRT counterparts are - sharper images, little to no heat emission, unaffected by magnetic fields, narrow frame borders, and extreme compactness, which make them very thin and light. Some types of lcd display htpc case are transmissive, reflective, and transflective displays. Transmissive displays provide better image quality in the presence of low or medium-light, while reflective displays work best in the presence of bright light. The third type of lcd display htpc case, transflective, combine the best features of both the other types and provide a well-balanced display.

Combining silence, style, easy media access convenience, and affordability, the new HTPC 1000 series is a state-of-art media center HTPC case with hair line brushed aluminum panel. When we design the case, we think what our end user is thinking. It"s the right size for an AV case or build to place in a home theater environment. It"s user friendly with expandable data storage space and runs quiet and cool. If that weren"t enough, the HTPC 1000 includes all the options for a 20x2 LCD Media Center display and our award winning HTPCKB wireless Keyboard and Remote set for a complete HTPC solution. HTPC 1000 is superior in functionality as well as in design.

The nMEDIAPC HTPC 1000B features a convenient front I/O panel for easy access to two HD Audio ports, one SDHC 2.0 Card Reader and two USB 2.0 ports. It enables you to serve all your new digital media needs upfront (without having end users to turn around the entire case to find connection ports on the back).

The front panel LCD module provides media center PC displaying functions (i.e. Move, TV program, Song title etc.) and surveillance of CPU and case temperature and control of CPU fan speed.

Liquid crystal display (LCD) is a flat panel display that uses the light modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not produce light directly, instead using a backlight or reflector to produce images in colour or monochrome.

I found out that using Windows on this resolution from viewing distance is no joy at all, and almost impossible without binoculars, so my htpc is default set on 720p (1280x720) looking great.

A big concern for plasma panels is burn-in of brighter images or logo"s when displayed on the same position very frequently. (and I intend to use MB very frequently ;-)

It would be great if there could be an option to make it possible to adjust the brightness of the albumart to a chosen level, or maybe have the location of the picture displayed in alternating positions?

We gave our Editor"s Choice Award to the SilverStone LC10/M because it has a combination of great features (VFD Text display, room for expansion with more HDD mounting space, the ability to install a full ATX board and power supply, as well as an optional multimedia kit since MS Windows Media Center is not sold on store shelves just yet). Bias is not one of the reasons we chose the LC10.

The HTPC100 is a great out-of-the-box solution if you want a simple barebones system. It performed well in our thermal and sound benchmarks. The case, however, does not have much room for expansion, only supports microATX boards, and does not have a text display. Although, for its performance in thermal and sound we believe it is a worthy competitor to the LC10.

Any HTPC that uses SoundGraph LCDs requires iMON to be installed to be able to utilize all of the functionality of the LCD. And the functionality isn’t just restricted to the display itself – the IR receiver, for example, is a part built into the FP LCD hardware. Powering on by remote, for example, is only possible through the FP LCD hardware’s built-in IR receiver. My case, the GD02-MT, came with a SoundGraph iPad remote control, but I prefer the functionality of my MCE remote (programmed easily into my Harmony-style URC-R50), so to have the IR receiver recognize MCE presses instead of iPad presses, I needed to install the iMON software and select MCE as my remote profile. Granted, the IR receiver will attempt to capture any IR signal it gets, and you could probably even use a Comcast remote with the thing if you ran Girder or something, but the pre-defined IR code profiles in iMON help with general navigation and the usual remote functionality you’d expect. Other things are even tied to the FrontPanel LCD hardware – power switch, power light, HDD light, etc. These are all triggered automatically by the FP hardware, instead of having to manually plug in jumpers and all that other fun stuff that building a PC usually involves. Instead, you merely have 3 connections from the FP LCD to the PC itself:

Ok, past that. All of the best HTPC cases have SoundGraph LCD’s. Some are 7", some are 4.3". Silverstone manufactures one case, mine, with the 4.3". Moneual, who also makes some spectacular cases, are all 7" from what I can tell. But again, I paid $369 for my case, and every Moneual case I find is anywhere from $490 to $650. And they still use the SoundGraph LCD’s. Regardless, if you buy a case with an SG LCD, you are going to have to use their software. It’s a closed API, the software is not updated often, it’s buggy, has heavy compatibility issues, and the x86 drivers have not been updated in 6 years. (The x64 drivers I had better luck with, as they actually seemed to install, but were still horribly buggy). I am still fully unable to calibrate my touchscreen, as it only recognizes a keypress from a single location – the screen’s center. There are many similar complaints about this in the iMON forums. Some displays are merely impossible to calibrate and iMON has made no effort to respond to my support requests or forum posts, except for a copy/paste email response telling me to autoupdate to the latest drivers/software. Yeah, well, I did, and it still doesn’t fucking work.

The trick really is not to even try to bother with x86, as the drivers simpy do not install. Next is to make sure you’re x64, install iMON, allow it to install the drivers, choos your remote profile, and then prevent the program from starting ever again. You still won’t be able to use your touchscreen, but at least the remote drivers will work and the LCD will function well as a secondary display.

My problem comes from trying to find stuff that is big enough to be readable at 8’ from the 4.3" 800x600 display, and still provide the info I want. 7" would do a world of good, but tha would increase case depth size, and I didn’t want that. Thus began my quest for programs and widgets I could use that would let me scale them large enough in 800x600 so I could read them. So far, I’ve found a great analog clock called ClocX, and am using a yahoo widget called SimplWeather at the bottom of the display to show the temperature and forecast. Here’s an iPhone pic of my display:

I like ClocX, and the skin I chose I find pretty sweet. It’s like HAL 9000 staring back at me. The weather is simple, a bit too simple for my tastes, but at least I can read it as far back as I sit. The smaller text is basically unreadable, but the current temp display is nice. I would like to have some kind of icon for day/night, or color variation on the temp font for day/night/rainy, but oh well. I’m still searching. The weather display is actually a Konfabulator (Yahoo Widget) but because it’s one of the few that came with a Size slider, I was able to use it.

Still, my quest continues for a cool weather indicator. That’s really all I want – I can see the date on my desktop (and the time, so the analog clock is just for pure sexiness) so I don’t really care about that. But being able to swap between various widgets or programs to display different data depending on what I’m doing would be sweet. Ah well. I suppose if anyone decides to buy a case with an SG LCD, you can come to me for information on what programs to use, but keep in mind that the built-in Frontview is useless, and so is the touchscreen. You may as well forget about them. Sorry for the long post, tl;dr and all that.

One item I am working on right now is an interface to LCDSmartie from MC. I have a 4 x 20 display in my main HTPC that has been sitting there stupid since I moved to MC a few years ago....

I live in Kolkata and am in the lookout for a TV and I need your advice urgently. I know there are threads esquiring about the same display models but I think my case is a little different because of the purpose I am buying the display for.

I have a decent knowledge of display technologies but I lack practical knowledge and that"s why I need you guys advice. The P42U30 is out of stock and I am currently left with the 46CX520 and L42U30.

I have viewed my "The Fast and the Furious" bluray DISC in both and I feel the picture in the Panasonic LCD looked washed away and the color was not vibrant enough. The Sony on the other hand looked crisp with decent black level (digitalversus.com does mention that this one can reach 0.06 cd/m) and rich colors. Like all large screen LCDs I have tried so far the overall picture in both the LCDs looked somewhat grainy though. I never had a chance to view the Panasonic U30 plasma although I tried the same bluray in the P42X30 which in my opinion didn"t look as much vibrant as the Sony (probably because it does only 720p). The color was not at all rich (calibration might have changed that, I am not sure, or maybe the shop was way too brightly lit for this plasma), but the overall picture was much less grainy compared to the Sony and Pana LCD. Black looked decent though. Also, I never had a chance to view a FullHD plasma be it low, mid or high end.

You don"t need to create a litestep theme, and you certainly should not have to mess with the Windows desktop and attentdant metaphors.

Just use a front end. Have it load on startup and you"ll never have to see anything else again. There are many good ones now. From good old myHTPC to GotAllMedia to Media Portal to the fun fun linux MythTV to the fancy pay stuff of Meedio or pure PVR programs like SageTV or BeyondTV.

Also, my video card outputs to the TV automatically as long as it"s connected when it boots up. So there"s no problem with that.

I run at 640x480 for near perfect overscan matching. Don"t have to deinterlace when the scanlines match up, plus anti-flicker becomes basically free weaving at that resolution.

I have a remote too, but as zathras and I have discussed many times I find it inferior to a scrollwheel for channel surfing. Part of that is because it"s serial (CPU eater) and infrared (requires aiming), but quite simply scrollwheeling in DScaler is <3

I discovered this early, and the driver in the kernel tree did work and put up a /dev/lcd, but LCDd still did nothing to get this to work. This is probably because i tried it with the LIRC drivers on the LIRC-side and the driver from the kernel tree on the LCDd side.

After reading alot of older guides, it seems like LCDproc and LIRC needs eachother, but i dont know how true that is anymore. Anyone may correct me on this however.

3: included > Device Drivers > Multimedia support > Remote Controller devices > SoundGraph iMON reciever and display (it seems to include compatability with all the imon LCD/VFD?)

5: the usual configuration of LCDproc as stated in its manual4th step was the key, i thought i could use the LIRC driver from the portage compilation, but no.
