Looks like I will have BeagleBoard soon which is great. But project will require also graphical output from it so here goes small problem — how to display it?
Currently I have 20” LCD which is capable of 1680x1050px resolution and have two video inputs:
- DVI where my desktop gfx card is connected
- D-Sub where I have Koala NanoPC connected
BeagleBoard require DVI or HDMI input so I can not connect it to current panel. So there are few choices:
- buy cheap 17-20” LCD with DVI input and connect BB to it
- buy FullHD (1920x1200 or 1920x1080) monitor with DVI/HDMI/D-Sub and use instead of current one.
- like second option but use current one with BeagleBoard
- do not buy any and use VNC to look what does BB display
OK, buying cheap LCD is not a problem — there are lot of them in local shops. The bigger problem is when I want to buy FullHD one. So far I created list of panels which are not an option and similar list of worth considering ones. So the choice for now looks like this:
| Monitor | Resolution | DVI | D-Sub | HDMI | Pivot | TV tuner | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iiyama B2409HDS | 1920x1080 | + | + | 1 | + | - | |
| Samsung 2494HM | 1920x1080 | + | + | 1 | + | - | |
| Samsung 2333HD | 1920x1080 | + | + | 2 | - | + | no height regulation |
| Samsung 2493HM | 1920x1200 | + | + | 1 | + | - | not available anymore |
| Samsung 2693HM | 1920x1200 | + | + | 1 | + | - | |
| iiyama E2607WS | 1920x1200 | + | + | 1 | - | - | |
| Samsung T240 | 1920x1200 | + | + | 1 | - | - | no height regulation |
| LG W2452V-PF | 1920x1200 | + | + | 1 | - | - | no height regulation |
Can someone suggest other options?
