aida64 lcd panel made in china
If you are in Canada, before you order one of these from ebay, fully check charges! This has become totally ridiculous. DHL is now holding the LCD hostage with extortion fees.
I originally paid $99US for the LCD and $30US for shipping. After the currency exchange, my CC was charged $169.27CAD. Was a lot more than I wanted to pay, but I wanted it. I was under the impression that the $30 covered shipping and handling. NOT SO!
DHL now wants an additional $42CAD before they will deliver it. So now I will have paid $211CAD for a tiny little LCD that does next to nothing. Hell, a person can but a decent 24"-27" 1080 monitor for that cost. Anybody have a bridge they wanna sell? With that said, nobody held a gun to my head forcing me to buy it. Just frustrated about getting nickled and dimed on a novelty I didnt really need, and not even remotely worth the cost.
Yeah I did.. Ended up going with Beada panel but had to do a bit of fabrication to get what I wanted. I posted about it in another thread. Ill just copy past it here again.
My Logitech G19 was starting to finally die so I needed a simple Aida lcd screen solution for my desk that looked good. I really wanted something clean looking with a simple usb connection. No hdmi second screen tweaking. After searching, there doesn"t seem to be a completely finished option available at all surprisingly. Just janky 3d printed stuff. Shame really.
Anyways, I ended up going with the 7 inch Beada panel cause it comes with a front bezel at least and figured I could make it work some how. After lots of brainstorming on what would be the easiest way that would look good. I came up with this. I Used a 1/6 thin sheet of ABS plastic that I cut and bent to wrap around the sides of the screen and sandwich between the bezel lip and back acrylic plate that comes with the screen. I also attached a cheap iPad stand to the back acrylic plate with some small nuts and bolts so the screen can tilt at multiple angles and stand up solid and sturdy. Lots of adjustment with Zero wobble. And lastly gave all the parts a nice thin coat of flat enamel spray paint. I think It turned out pretty nice. I"m very please with it. Could actually almost pass as a finished product. Over all it wasn"t too hard to make. The side cover part was a bit of a pain to get the bends perfect so they were flush with the bezel and back plate. Took me 3 or 4 try"s to get the piece perfect. The rest was super simple stuff. It would be nice if Beada could included a simple Side trim ring like I made for their screens. Really cleans it up.
Yeah good case. I am having trouble getting a good photo of it as I have mirror tinted the glass screen which looks great to the naked eye with the dim lighting shining through but it just looks like a mirrored garbage when photographed. I have tried a little screen in there which looks great through the glass but I was not happy with how it was so waiting on a new long but narrow screen for the bottom and I am going to use a odriod c2 board with android running the remote panel app.
Really like what you have done with the white cables and led strips. The retro sensor panel really suits it with the white and the big sythe cooler at the other side.
AIDA64 Extreme, Engineer and Business support several ways to display sensor measurements on your desktop. Not only can it log all sensor values in a log file or make them available to external applications, but it can also display an OSD Panel in any Windows editions, a Sidebar Gadget in Vista and Windows 7, sensor icons in the Notification Area and, last but not least, a nice SensorPanel, too.
The SensorPanel is the one of the more spectacular monitoring modules AIDA64 offers. It has been designed with power users in mind, such users that prefer customizing every detail in both the layout and the set of displayed values. This is why it takes some time to come up with a nice panel like this:
2) We are going to use a 500x145 pixel background image we have designed. As we know the image dimensions, we can set the SensorPanel size in Preferences. In this settings window, there are several other options you can choose from.
AIDA64 currently does not support transparent backgrounds: you can either use a solid color background or a nontransparent background image of your choice. But there"s a trick: if you want your SensorPanel to look as if it were transparent on the Windows desktop you can cut out a section of the desktop background image and use it as a background image in your SensorPanel. Then all you need to do is position the SensorPanel to the same area on the desktop which you cut out before.
3) Now let"s switch to the SensorPanel. We can access the SensorPanel Manager by right-clicking on the panel area. In the Manager, we can see the list of items used/displayed on the panel. As we want to create a fully customized SensorPanel, let"s delete all default items.
4) Now let"s add the background image to the blank panel. To add an image, click on “New”, then select “Image” from the drop-down menu, browse to the file"s location, and click OK.
Hint: you can add any image to the SensorPanel this way, and set its position on the panel by specifying the X and Y coordinate values. But you can also position any item on the panel by selecting it in the SensorPanel Manager list and using the arrows on the right.
5) Now we are going to populate the blank panel with sensor items: first, a gauge indicating CPU Utilization. Let"s select “New”, then “Gauge” from the “Item type” drop-down menu, then “CPU Utilization” from the list. We can customize the gauge by selecting the size, color, label, font type etc. we want to use.
AIDA64 gives you the opportunity to change the color of the gauges in the drop-down menu “Type” (available options are black or white). However, if you are not satisfied with the look of the default gauges, and you are not afraid of using Photoshop or other photo editing software either, you can create and use custom gauges or indicators as well. To do this, you fist need to draw all the 15 possible indicator states and upload them one by one in AIDA64, then select Custom in the Type menu, and then click on the “States” drop-down list. (You can download the default AIDA64 gauge states from here. Feel free to modify them!)
Again: you can position any item on the SensorPanel by entering the exact X:Y coordinates on the item preferences page, or by selecting it in the SensorPanel Manager list and using the arrows on the right.
7) The same way, you can add further items, like further graphs, bars, text and images to the panel. There are a couple of options available for each: for example, you can set the min and max values for each item. Or you can set the threshold values when the color of the bar should change, eg. from green to yellow and then to red as the CPU or GPU is getting hotter. In the latter case, bear in mind that you need to set the color thresholds in such a way that they match the characteristics of the monitored hardware as 60 Celsius may be absolutely normal for a GPU, while it is way too high for a HDD.
8) In Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Update Frequency, you can set how often AIDA64 updates the sensor readings. If you want a really dynamic SensorPanel, set the update frequency to 1 second or less, instead of the default 5 seconds.
9) Now that your customized SensorPanel is ready, it is time to decide if you want to load and display it when Windows starts. If so, all you need to do is go to File / Preferences / General and check both “Load AIDA64 at Windows startup” and “When AIDA64 starts Hide the main window (minimize to System Tray)”. This way AIDA64 will launch at Windows startup and display the SensorPanel without loading the main program Window. This can also be displayed any time by clicking the AIDA64 icon in the notification area.
Please bear in mind that the SensorPanel (just like the OSD Panel or the AIDA64 desktop gadget) will not be visible when playing full-screen 3D games or full-screen video even if “Keep SensorPanel the topmost window (always on top)” is selected. If you want to display hardware monitoring readouts during gameplay or video playback, you can use the latest and greatest RemoteSensor feature, an external LCD, a second monitor, the RivaTuner export option, or use sensor value exporting.
As a new feature, Aida64 now allows users to define global hotkeys with which they can enable or disable the Aida64 hardware monitoring panels or switch between multiple hardware information pages on external displays, even when Aida64 is running in the background. Using these customized key combinations, PC enthusiasts can also start and stop saving temperature, voltage and power measurements as well as fan RPM readouts to a CSV or HTML log file.
Aida64 has also been released on a new mobile platform: Ubuntu Touch. The Ubuntu Touch version includes most of the features found in the Aida64 Android app, while it provides support for Ubuntu"s convergence concept. It is capable of dynamically adapting its user interface to the displays or input devices connected. Aida64 for Ubuntu Touch can be downloaded for free from the Ubuntu Store.
As Google has recently made the Play Store available on Chrome OS, it is now possible to run Aida64 for Android on Chromebooks, Chromeboxes and Chromebits as well.
