Has anyone tried out the LCD adapter kits like this one on ebay. http://m.ebay.com/itm/121124750917?_mwBanner=1
Not directly, but I have seen a whole bunch of consoles for ad promotions that use Raspberry Pi + Generic cheap laptop LCD + board almost exactly like this to make a cheap built-in HDMI display. Many of those are touchscreens, though. Matching the backlight inverter to the screen will be the hard part.
My friend surprised the heck out of himself when he bought a raspberry pi and was able to get it working on his own. HDMI works fine for connecting to his TV. He just needed a little help with a RTC setup.
You got the RTC going okay? The most important lessons I've learned are: * Use a DS3231 if at all possible * Don't follow a tutorial that's more than a year old. If it mentions Raspbian Wheezy, run away! cheers, Stewart
