Your easiest path is using an HDMI display. EBay is your friend here, just make sure you get a display with enough pixels to see the entire LinuxCNC display. I got an 800x480 7" display which works great, but none of the (recent) UI choices for LinuxCNC work well with this small (in pixels) of a screen. :( If you want small, the 7" 1024x600 displays should work well, which you can get on eBay for under $90 US: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7inch-1024-600-LCD-PANEL-TM070DDH07-VGA-HDMI-2AV-USB-touch-remote-control-/251322267928?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a83f97918 If you want quick and easy, just go pick up an HDMI TV at your local WalMart or equivalent. Anything with a 720p or higher native resolution should work OK, which should be most available displays these days. Interfacing to a picture frame LCD is more hassle than it's worth, unless you want to go through the experience (and gain the knowledge) of trying to interface to a raw LCD panel which probably doesn't have specs you can find online. -- Charles Steinkuehler char...@steinkuehler.net
