OrganGrinder Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 hiwhat are you asking? what do you mean by valid?everything i have read on this forum says that the use of LCD screens is very important in the development of a midibox project, even if the final product dosen't use one.OrganGrinderPS if asking a question like this, please give details, otherwise the people who know may just ignore it.

stryd_one Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Oh - watch out for shipping - those HK suppliers have great prices and silly shipping costs... Like the bag of 100 LED's I saw last week for 99c Buy-It-Now, but with a $30 shipping fee.... Buyer beware! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcreatorx Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 You meant the shipping make them expensive, right ? Do you know where we can get this kind of blue backlight ones for less ? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr modnaR Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 the reason they bump up the shipping ,and make the price of the item low, is to lower their ebay charges.as for where to get one, where do you live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcreatorx Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 I live in Barcelona, Spain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr modnaR Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 ok, not sure who supplies out there. you could try ordering from www.mini-itx.com or www.linitx.com they both have lcds for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcreatorx Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 That Ebay link I provided is a lot cheaper than these two shops. In these last links a blue LCD screen cost 29 UK pounds while that Hong Kong guy is providing them for 6.02 U.K pounds. I see a big price difference there mate . . . am I right ?

Mr modnaR Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 yes that's right. it's up to you mate, i don't know what these screens that come from hong kong are like, for the price i guess it's worth a try. ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcreatorx Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Ok thanks for posting and helping here, really ! Now, can somebody tell us if 6 pounds = 11 $ is a right price for a 2x16 blue backlight screen ? Thank you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr modnaR Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 to me that seems cheap, but we do get raped regularly by the government here. >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganGrinder Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 Hifor a 2x16 blue lcd try www.futurelec.com they have branches world wide and sell for a good price and shipping is cheap. they also sell almost anything we would need for midibox.OrganGrinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altitude Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have purchased LCDs from rainbow city and they work great (and are real nice to boot) I would get a couple and save on shipping at that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
