> NOTE: FPC connector which attaches the panel to adapter board is VERY fragile. User must be very careful lifting up the connector tab and pushing it back into place. There's value in not having to fiddle with such a thing. Also, there's http://dp2retina.rozsnyo.com/ http://dp2retina.rozsnyo.com/ which is more expensive but probably better. They also have a driver for the Retina MacBook http://dp2mbpr.rozsnyo.com/ http://dp2mbpr.rozsnyo.com/

> there's http://dp2retina.rozsnyo.com/ http://dp2retina.rozsnyo.com/ which is more expensive but probably better I am aware of this one as well, but what qualities make it "better" than the Abusemark model I linked to? It's 3 times more expensive ($35 versus $99), uses 12V input (and thus cannot be USB powered), and has an 8-bit micro (ATxmega32A4U) instead of the 32-bit micro found on the Abusemark board (STM32F103CB). They both feature dual backlight drivers, although rozsnyo isn't listing what driver chips they're using, I suspect it's the same as Abusemark. The Abusemark firmware even provides a USB serial device in addition to firmware updates, which the rozsnyo lacks.
