aida64 lcd panel brands

the "picoLCD-4x20-sideshow" looks very much like something i would go for (nice case, has buttons too), but i can"t find any sign of its existence over here.

My experience with lcd"s, other than the one in the G15, is limited to hd44780 character displays hooked up to the no longer existing parallel port in the Windows 98/XP era (and Arduino"s) and now I"m also looking for something that can be hooked up to USB and works with modern operating systems and maybe even with Windows 10. Unfortunately displays that meet those requirements seem to be hard to find.

As for the external picoLCD, that hasn"t been available for years.  I"ve spent some time looking for that one a while ago and I didn"t limit my search to within Europe...

The options are quite limited in case you want an USB-connected display.  In that case check out Matrix Orbital EVE3/EVE4 and BeadaPanel.  In case HDMI-connected display is an option too, then the selection is unlimited since any monitor or TV can work too, using SensorPanel.

Such hardware property can only be indicated when the monitor is included in the built-in monitor database of AIDA64, and when the relevant entry in the database is fully populated.  We keep working on populating that field, but it"s not easy in many cases when the monitor manufacturer fails to properly specify the panel type used in a certain product.

One of the strengths of AIDA64 has been providing users with precise and abundant hardware monitoring information. The software offers several ways to visualize sensor data, such as clock rates, temperatures, voltages, fan speeds etc. For the past few months we have been working hard to give you even more opportunities for displaying such info: we"ve been adding support for a huge number of external displays,VFDs (vacuum fluorescent display), LCDs and even OLEDs.

Using such devices can come in handy when you want to keep an eye on hardware related information at all times, even when watching a movie or playing a game in full screen. Now AIDA64 can send information to external displays directly, without the need to use third-party applications. And you can select and edit what and how you want to show on these displays, right from AIDA64.

The latest stable already supports dozens of displays, and the number is constantly growing as our developers are working hard to implement support for even the most exotic panels you guys may be using. Your feedback is welcome here: if you happen to use displays that AIDA64 does not support yet, please let us know in the forums.

LCD support has been designed with power users in mind, users who prefer customizing every single detail in both the layout and the set of displayed values. In this blog post we want to show you how you can create a customized LCD in AIDA64.

Specifically, we are going to describe how you can populate a color LCD with hardware monitoring info as well as some eye-candy. However, AIDA64 supports a couple of less fancy devices as well: if you use alphanumeric displays or monochrome LCDs your options will obviously be more limited. On an alphanumeric device, for example, you can only visualize “Simple sensor items”, that is text, while monochrome LCD can cope with some basic imagery only.

If you use a color LCD, you have the choice to use either a background color or a custom background image. You can come up with spectacular results both ways. If you go for a solid color background you have to specify the color here. If multiple pages are available on the display, the color selected here will be used on all the pages. If you want a custom background image, you have to upload it in the editor (see step 4 below). The tabs often give you the chance to adjust brightness and/or contrast for monochrome and alphanumeric displays.

Now let"s open the LCD layout editor which is available in File / Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / LCD / LCD Items. What you"ll see here is a preview of the external display and the list of items shown on the panel. To those who have already experimented with the SensorPanel the editor will look quite familiar: it"s not a coincidence as both work exactly the same way. The only difference is that here you can design more pages for a single device, if the external display can handle multiple pages. You can select each page by clicking on its tab, just like you do in web browsers.

Now let"s add a 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. Note that currently BMP, JPG and PNG images are supported.

Hint: you can add any image to the display this way, and set its position on the panel by specifying the X and Y coordinate values. But you can also position any item in the layout by selecting it in the item list and using the arrows on the right. We can move items up or down in the list. Items are displayed as layers on the display, and this list determines the order of the layers: the topmost item in the list will be the background layer, the next one the first layer and so on. By default, an item listed under another will cover at least parts of those listed above it if they overlap each other on the panel. Because of that, always make sure to make the background image the topmost item.

Hint: If you are not satisfied with the default gauges, and you are not afraid of using Photoshop or other graphics editors either, feel free to create and use custom gauges. To do this, you fist need to draw all the 15 possible indicator states and upload them one by one in AIDA64 by selecting Custom in the Type menu, and then clicking on the “States” drop-down list. (You can download the default AIDA64 gauge states from here [link]. Feel free to modify them!)

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 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 bar color-coding thresholds so that they match the characteristics of the monitored

Hint: You can also display whatever labels you want for each sensor item. It"s recommended to change the default label which is usually too dull and too long. :) You can even delete the labels, which may come in handy on low-resolution alphanumeric LCDs where each pixel counts.

In the Preferences / Hardware Monitoring / Update Frequency menu, you can set how often AIDA64 Extreme updates the sensor readings on the LCD. Currently, the lowest selectable refresh rate is 500 ms.

Bonus: Even though AIDA64 cannot measure FPS in games, with a little help from a friend it can show FPS info on external displays. You need to install and run FRAPS to make this happen. When FRAPS is running, it will appear among the available sensor items.

You Could Use CORN Secondary Screen as a Secondary Screen for AIDA64 Data Monitoring(You could contact us for some AIDA64 modules for free). You Could Watching Moive While Playing Games, Dynamic Picture and so on...

If you want an external screen for monitoring critical PC stats, Lamptron has partnered up with AIDA64 to bring us something revolutionary, the HM070!

The big news for the HM070 is the ability to use AIDA64 for monitoring. As all of you know, FinalWire has built a great reputation for themselves in this area.

3. On the display page, you can set the LCD display content you need, click the drop-down box. As shown in the figure below, there are three display modes：

3.3.2 Text (you can enter the text you want to display on the LCD screen, only English capital letters are supported), click the [Apply] after the setting is completed

A1: When Armoury Crate and AIDA64 software are installed at the same time and the LCD display is set, the LCD will display the graphics mode set by Armoury Crate

Windows device manager does not state the specific display model of the laptop, under Monitors, they only say "Generic PnP monitor", however the Aida64 extreme will able to tell the specific manufacturer brand and the model number of the display. For example, my current Dell inspiron 15 has the AUO B156HAN (AUO23ED) panel which is free of pwm(source from notebookcheck.net).
