Digital Picture Frame as Arcade Monitor?

(1/2) > >>

javeryh:
So has anyone tried something like this?  Is it even possible?  Digital picture frames are pretty cheap but similar sized monitors (8"-10") are not so I thought I'd ask...

Vigo:
I personally wouldn't try....On mine, even when it switches photos, I see massive color shifting. I'm sure the refresh on them suck. Of course, mine was about as low end as digital frames go.

I would personally try hacking those old playstation 1 portable tv screens. I have seen a number of portable projects use 'em.

GibsonRiddler:
I had thought about using one for showing marques or other artwork.

BobA:
I have a couple of older ones and you cannot update them dynamically.   You will have to check the specs to see how pictures can be updated and selected to show marquees or controls

MonMotha:
The unit itself is probably totally unsuitable.  Most can barely handle pulling pictures out of some flash memory and poorly displaying them on the LCD.

You may be able to use the LCD panel from one, but it's probably not worth the trouble.  The interfaces on them isn't anything you'll find on a standard PC, and the panels tend to suck, anyway.
