A CCFL inverter will NOT work for this LCD panel

Do you have the same problems using composite out on LCDs as you do on regular TVs, i.e. that it is not always easy to get the image stretch to the ends and stuff. Does it usually look pretty good (i.e. is the text readable)? I imagine the format is going to be interlaced, so I would think the maximum resolution you could send over composite would be 480i? Can you read text well in 480i @ 5 inches?

Ok it looks like I screwed up, I will probably try to return this or sell it on ebay, but I did find this on their website.

Now is this what I should have purchased? I would rather have just a plain screen because I am going to actually make an encloseure for this when I integrate it into my cab. Vs a ps1 screen with the circular case.
Or would I just need to order one of these?

When you take the ps1 lcd out of the case you are left with the lcd in a metal case with 4 convenient mounting screws. It kind of looks like the one in your picture, but with less metal surrounding the lcd.

Recieved it in today, you were right barebones as all get out. I just sent them an e-mail as I am hoping to return this unit and get the full kit or get the wiring harness and inverter seperately. I will let you guys know how it goes.
Loadman, the 4x40 lcd display showed up too, it's barebones as well. The serial one I got from seetron was almost plug and play. Did you have much trouble wiring these parallel ones?
