1. Choose a Display Panel

• Salvage from an old laptop or buy new
• Note the model number and connector type (LVDS or eDP)

2. Get a Compatible Controller Kit

• Includes HDMI, VGA, AV inputs and remote control support
• Match the panel model to the controller board

3. Connect the Panel

• Use ribbon cables to connect the controller and T-Con board
• Secure connections to avoid flickering or damage

4. Add Power Supply

• Use a 12V adapter for the controller board
• Ensure proper voltage for backlight and audio amplifier

5. Install Speakers and IR Receiver

• Connect to the controller board’s audio and IR ports
• Mount speakers inside the enclosure

6. Build the Enclosure

• Use acrylic sheets, wood, or 3D print a frame
• Ensure ventilation and access to ports

7. Test and Calibrate

• Connect to a video source (e.g., HDMI from PC or set-top box)
• Adjust brightness, contrast, and audio settings

🧠 Tips for Success

• Use IPS panels for better viewing angles
• Check voltage specs carefully to avoid burning components
• Consider adding a Raspberry Pi or Android TV box for smart features
