Most laptop LVDS displays have at least kinda-weird connectors. I don"t support Panelook, and actively avoid that site -- it"s got a paywall between users and documentation, and I refuse to support such a thing in absolutely all cases.

It"s a matter of digital safety, as far as I"m concerned -- websites almost never audit their ad providers, and website-level ad providers, in turn, almost never audit their content sources (the people / organizations / etc providing the actual ads) -- so it"s *extremely* easy for a rogue actor to insert something nasty into the mix. Many such "nasties" need only for the ad to load on the page for the payload to activate, and now that there"s at least one active Linux virus going around, I"m taking even fewer chances than usual.

...you will get a number of links of various sorts. Look *specifically* for links that have a little [PDF] icon next to them, i.e., the acronym "PDF" in a (very!) thin outline of a box. If the entire first page doesn"t have anything for you, look for results from eg datasheetspdf.com datasheet4u.com datasheetarchive.com etc. Datasheet Archive (the last one) is actually my favorite. *Absolutely avoid* Panelook if you"re at all like me, but also twscreen.com hkinventory.com etc -- those are sales sites and you"ll never ever *ever* get a PDF out of them so long as you live. Also avoid lcds-center.com lcds-display.com lcds-source.com etc -- these are particularly egregious, because they"ll return [PDF] results, but the PDFs are generated when you click the link and are in fact sales info only -- nothing actually useful in the sense of a technical document, and nothing that gives you even the faintest glimmer of hope of a way to get one. Screw "em.

VEIKK is a company I previously hadn"t heard of that offers a range of pen displays and drawing tablets for digital artists. At first when they reached out around reviewing one of their drawing tablets, I questioned their Linux support but it turns out their graphics tablets do work across all major platforms. I"ve been trying out the VEIKK VK1200 the past few weeks and it"s been working out decent as a 11.6-inch drawing monitor for just $169 USD.

A few years back we looked at the ASUS ZenScreen USB-C Portable Monitor that took until recently when it began playing working nicely on Linux due to its DisplayLink hardware and also the state of Type-C DP AlternateMode support at the time. What we"ve been trying out over the past week has been the Odake BladeX as a much more interesting portable monitor: it"s a 15.6-inch display in 1080p and 4K options that also supports native HDMI input and other functionality unmatched by the ZenScreen.

4 December 2016The past few weeks I have been testing out the ASUS MG28UQ 4K display as the monitor on my main daily workstation. This ~$500 monitor has been working out well and also supports extra features like Adaptive-Sync once the open-source Linux graphics drivers catch up.

5 July 2016If you are after a 4K / Ultra HD display this holiday season, the Dell P2415Q is a great monitor that can be found for just over $400 USD while not running into any compatibility troubles under Linux.

21 November 2015As some recent non-performance testing of the AMD and NVIDIA graphics drivers on Linux, I checked in to see how well the various Linux desktop environments were working these days in multi-monitor setups. With the latest AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards and drivers, I tried out Unity, GNOME Shell, Xfce, and (attempted) KDE Plasma 5 on Ubuntu 15.04 to check out the latest experience.

14 March 2014The multiple monitor experience on Linux traditionally was very arcane and difficult; it would involve editing text configuration errors, trial-and-error, picking the right Linux GPU driver, and various other steps to get a working multi-monitor desktop. Since then there"s been RandR 1.2+ and major improvements to all of the important Linux desktop graphics drivers -- both open and closed-source. How is the Linux multi-monitor now when using a modern distribution and the latest graphics cards that can drive four monitors simultaneously? Let"s find out! Up for testing today are NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards using both the open and closed-source drivers while using DVI, DisplayPort, and HDMI displays.

5 December 2013If you"ve been eyeing a purchase of a 4K "Ultra HD" TV this holiday season and will be connecting it to a Linux system, here"s the information that you need to know for getting started and some performance benchmarks to set the expectations for what you can expect. This article has a number of AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce benchmarks when running various Linux OpenGL workloads at a resolution of 3840 x 2160.

10 August 2013For the past few weeks I have been trying out the Apple"s Thunderbolt Cinema Display under Linux. While this 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display is beautiful and delivers stunning quality, it does illustrate another area where the current Linux hardware support currently comes up short. There"s both good and bad news about using a Thunderbolt-based display under your favorite Linux distribution.

14 November 2011If you find yourself picking up any extra monitors this holiday season, you may be in need of a monitor stand. When it comes to monitor stands though, Ergotron is often regarded as the leading manufacturer of such LCD stands, but their products come with a hefty price tag where a simple side-by-side LCD arm can cost over $300 USD. If you do not want to spend several hundred dollars -- likely more than the cost of a monitor itself -- on a metal stand, I have a better solution. For the past two months, I have been using LCD monitor from Tyke Supply. They are wonderfully reliable, fully adjustable, and cost just a fraction of what it would cost if buying from Ergotron.

26 November 2010The last time an ASUS monitor was reviewed at Phoronix was a year and a half ago when checking out the ASUS VH236 monitor that ended up being a fairly nice 1920 x 1080 monitor with HDMI support. After recently needing to purchase another monitor, however, we decided to pickup the ASUS VE228H, which offers similar specifications but measures up to being a 21.5-inch LED-backlit display. Here are a few words on the ASUS VE228H LCD monitor after using it for a few weeks.

15 November 2010If you"ve been looking for a DisplayPort-capable monitor to connect to your new graphics card whether it be a FirePro V8800 or one of the new ATI Radeon HD 5000 series graphics cards that are capable of using Eyefinity to drive many displays via this newest display connection standard, the Dell Professional P2210H monitor is worth considering. The 22-inch LCD display retails for around $200 USD and offers DisplayPort connectivity along with DVI and VGA.

14 May 2010Over the years we have looked at many ASUS products primarily with when it comes to graphics cards and motherboards, but never had we got our hands on an ASUS LCD monitor. However, that changed earlier this month when receiving the ASUS VH236 LCD monitor. This 23-inch widescreen monitor from ASUS has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080, a 2ms GTG response time, ASUS Smart Contrast Ratio Technology, ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, and a dual 2W speaker system. This ASUS display may not be as nice as the Samsung SyncMaster 305T but it does offer more features than some of the other monitors in its class like the Dell S2409W. Continue on as we test out the ASUS VH236 LCD monitor.

19 May 2009The prices on LCD monitors have dropped a fair amount in recent times and it is now possible to find 24-inch LCDs approaching the $200 USD price-range, which a few years back was just reserved for a couple 17-inch LCDs. One such example is the Dell S2409W -- a 24" LCD panel with 1920 x 1080 resolution and has VGA, DVI, and HDMI inputs. This sleek monitor may not have as many bells and whistles as some of the other displays out there, but its price is nearly unbeatable.

6 May 2009The cost of LCD HDTVs have dropped dramatically in recent times where it"s now possible to find a moderately sized HDTV for just a few hundred dollars. With more budget brands now surfacing with their own LCD HDTVs that are even more competitively priced, it can be a bit challenging to find a LCD HDTV that is good and bargain-priced with the selection being so large. One of the LCDs we recently encountered at Phoronix was the Toshiba Regza 32RV530U. This TV is only 32" but it provides full 1080p, multiple HDMI inputs, and will cost you less than some of the other similarly equipped LCD HDTVs on the market.

12 December 2008If a 22" or 24" LCD monitor doesn"t provide enough screen real estate for you or you just want to go all out and find the best monitor without having a real budget, you"ll more than likely end up looking at the 30" monitors that are available. There aren"t many but Apple has a 30" Cinema Display and Dell also have a very popular 30" monitor, but there are also some from other manufacturers. In fact, today we are looking at the Samsung SyncMaster 305T, which is a 30" monitor with a native resolution of 2560 x 1600 and has a price tag of over $1200 USD.

12 September 2008In the past we have looked at several different Acer LCDs and generally have been quite pleased with them. Acer offers LCD panels that range from cost-effective 17" models to higher-end models that are much larger and offer additional features such as a metal stand, integrated audio, and HDMI. For those that are interested in a large high-resolution screen with HDMI support and a fast response time, but that isn"t too expensive, Acer has the P243WAid. The Acer P243WAid is a 24" LCD that fits these traits and sells for about $390 USD, but it lacks some extra features such as height and pivot adjustments.

21 July 2008While not our primary focus at Phoronix, in the past we had reviewed the Acer AL1714CB, AL1732 Prestige, and dual AL1715b LCD monitors. Even though Acer"s LCDs are not nearly as popular as those from Dell are, we have been very fond of the models that we had looked at in the past. Being nearly a year since we looked at the AL1732 Prestige, which was a phenomenal display, we once again chased down another new Acer monitor. In this review we will be looking at the Acer AL2223Wd Office Line 22" LCD monitor. The Acer AL2223Wd monitor has a recommended resolution of 1680 x 1050 with its WSXGA+ screen and the viewing angles are 160 degrees for both horizontal and vertical. Other specifications include a 300cd/m2 brightness, 800:1 contrast ratio, and 5ms response time. Both VGA and DVI are supported. For what it"s worth, this display is also Windows Vista certified.

10 March 2007The Acer AL1732 Prestige is certainly one of the best sub-$200 17-inch LCDs presently available on the market. Not only does it offer DVI and VGA input but it also comes equipped with an anti-reflective coating, cable management abilities, integrated speakers, and a metal stand. In addition, Acer"s Prestige lineup is a winner of the International Forum Design.

5 April 2006The last time we were engaged to look at an Acer product was when reviewing two Acer AL1715b 17" LCD displays. Today, Acer is floating around Phoronix again as we take a look at another recent offering, the AL1714CB-8. This 17" LCD is very similar to that of the AL1715b except it offers a blazing fast 8ms response and other competitive features for the budget consumer.

My info did not show up in XOrg.log. But I figured out that I could get the info from the DRM (Direct Rendering Manager) subcomponent of the linux kernel, which is exposed in sysfs. So I did the following:

Surprisingly, this project doesn"t require any special code for the Raspberry Pi. In fact, it will be running on Raspbian OS, a Linux distribution specifically for the Raspberry Pi.

DAKboard is the web interface used to display all the information on the monitor. It can be set up from the Raspberry Pi or from a computer, phone or tablet.

By upgrading to DAKboard Premium, which starts at $4.95 per month (no specific info about international pricing and availability), you can unlock the ability to add additional calendars, set a Vimeo, YouTube video or website as the background, select

A couple of days ago, I upgraded from a pair of 21.5” 1920x1080 TFT LCD monitors to a pair of 27” 2560x1440 IPS LCD monitors. I’ve really wanted to make this upgrade ever since a friend of mine bought a QNIX QX2700 late last year, but my laptop didn’t have the dual link DVI-D port that is required to drive these inexpensive 1440p monitors from Korea. Since building my new Linux desktop, I no longer have this limitation, and I just couldn’t resist this upgrade.

This actually surprised me a bit. This is the first time in over a decade that I’ve plugged a monitor into one of my Linux machines without immediately seeing a picture.

The problem seems to be that the EDID information returned by the monitor is completely invalid. Since Xorg didn’t know what the monitor was capable of, it ended up defaulting to an output resolution of 1024x768. The QX2710 didn’t seem to know what to do with this, and it seemed to run through a series of full screen test patterns.

I thought it would be as simple as adding a “modeline” for 2560x1440, just like we often had to do in the good old days. It was a tiny bit more persnickety than that, though. I also had to add a few options telling Xorg to ignore the EDID info.

I’m not entirely certain if all the EDID and the ExactModeTimingsDVI are required. I went through a few iterations of trial and error based on information from a number of sources. I tried various “modelines” that I found on the Internet, but I ended up using one generated by the cvt command line tool.

Everything is up and running smoothly, and my desktop resolution is now 5120x1440. This is a huge step up from the pair of 1024x768 LCD panels I had back in 2001.

Some of the QNIX monitors are sold with a “pixel perfect guarantee”. I thought it was well worth the extra $20 to $30 to get that guarantee. The LG panels used in these monitors are from the batches that Apple, Dell, and Asus didn’t want to use in their monitors, so there may be quite a few dead pixels in these batches.

I thought I found a dead pixel on one of the monitors. I found it within two inches of a mote of dust that seems to be stuck between the panels. I took a picture to post here, and in that close up, the dead pixel doesn’t look so dead. It looks like a little more than half of two different pixels are being blocked out.

I have no idea how dust finds its way inside of an LCD panel, but this isn’t the first time I’ve had this happen. A large chunk of something managed to work its way into one of my old laptop’s LCD panels.

I must have worked it loose, and it fell out of site. The smaller speck of dust is still there, and I couldn’t dislodge it in the same way. It seems to be much more out of focus and fuzzy than the other one, so I’m assuming it is between the LCD and the backlight, while the bigger one was in front of the LCD panel. Maybe it will work its way loose on its own.
