Thanks for this info, I know Adafruit is overpriced, but had no idea where to go about doing it myself. Why do both drivers have this warning? What would make

Thanks for this info, I know Adafruit is overpriced, but had no idea where to go about doing it myself. Why do both drivers have this warning? What would make it not work with an HDMI adapter, and is there any way to somehow use this with an HDMI output? > Just to make sure this is very clear, this adapter will NOT work with HDMI connectors, will NOT work with HDMI to DisplayPort adapters (passive or active)

> Why do both drivers have this warning? Because the LCD is an eDP (embedded DisplayPort) LCD, both Adafruit and Abusemark boards are only breakout boards to turn the FPC connection into a mini/DisplayPort port. > What would make it not work with an HDMI adapter Unlike a normal desktop monitor, which has a PCB inside with a chip that accepts a variety of inputs and drives the display in its native format (LVDS or eDP) [1], these adapters lack that. They rely on the controller inside the LP097QX1 LCD itself, which only speaks eDP because it's designed to be used in tablets which output eDP. You cannot drive the LCD at any resolution other than 2048x1536@60Hz. The LCD doesn't support any other resolution or refresh rates. > and is there any way to somehow use this with an HDMI output?
