Seeking Advice: Using a 12-inch LVDS LCD for Flight Simulators
Hi everyone,
I'm currently exploring options for building a flight simulator cockpit and came across a 12-inch 1200×1600 40-pin LVDS LCD module (https://www.aptusdisplay.com/products/12-inch-1200x1600-40pin-lvds-lcd-module) that seems interesting from a technical standpoint. It has high brightness and a wide operating temperature range, which I thought could be useful for both visibility and reliability in a simulator environment.
Before I commit to using it, I wanted to ask for advice from people who have experience with similar setups:
Do you think a 12-inch LVDS LCD would provide enough clarity and response for flight instruments?
Are there any integration challenges with LVDS panels in DIY or professional flight simulators?
How does the brightness and temperature tolerance of these modules actually impact usability in a cockpit setup?
I’d really appreciate any insights or experiences from members who have worked with LVDS LCDs in simulation projects or related applications. My goal is to balance visual clarity, responsiveness, and reliability, and I’m hoping your expertise can help me decide if this module is suitable.
Thanks in advance for your input!

I’ve used LVDS panels in flight sims before. A 12-inch 1200×1600 screen is sharp enough for instruments and MFDs, and response time is usually fine for cockpit displays. The main challenge is getting a controller board to handle LVDS and making sure your power supply is stable. High brightness helps a lot with visibility in bright rooms, and the wide temperature range is nice if your cockpit isn’t climate controlled. Overall, this panel should work well for a DIY cockpit setup.

Hallo,
die LCD Module die ich kenne werden ziehmlich schnell dunkel wenn man von der Seite draufschaut. Ich wäre da sehr Skeptische LCD Module zu verwenden.
Solche Modula machen meist nur Sinn, wenn man direkt draufschaut wie auf einen Bankautomaten oder anderen Infosystemen. Als Pilot sieht man da ehr von der Seite drauf.
Viele Grüße
