Digital Picture Frame as Arcade Monitor?

<< < (2/2)

borals:


The way they are designed, they have terrible response times, any on screen movement would just be a big blur of color!

HanoiBoi:
I don't think there are any connections for such, but not sure.  I had considered using one to load movie poster images to run as a slide show.  Also, I've heard that there are ways to power them without the plug to the outlet...for a cleaner wall install.

BTW, today on 1saleaday, there's a 10" digital refurb for $40.

The frame I have says it plays avi files so I just assumed it could handle an arcade game... I tried connecting it to the computer via USB last night but no luck.  There is a tutorial of sorts HERE which isn't helpful but it makes me think it is at least possible.

bkenobi:
Doesn't the USB connection on these just put it in mass storage device mode?  I'm not sure it gives you any kind of access to the hardware itself (at least not without a boot strap or something).  My vote would be find a cheap LCD on ebay and use that.  There are plenty of old Dual head car DVD players out there for fairly cheap.  One or both of these screens are typically hooked up with an RCA cable.  I'd think that would be much easier since you'd just need to add a power cube.
