Does what it is supposed to do! A little finicky
This works as advertised and overall I'm happy. The seller had to send me a replacement ribbon cable- I think this style of cable is a little more fragile than what some other similar products use. But the seller was easy to work with and addressed the problem quickly. I am happy to be able to reuse my old laptop screen and get a portable monitor for a very reasonable cost.This is a more difficult and messy route than buying a pre-assembled and warrantied product, and I have had to play with it a bit. Still, I'm happy with the result and the seller was very helpful.One final tip- I mounted my old screen on foam core (a little bit bigger than the screen to fit the frame without extra space) and framed it with a modular frame kit from hobby lobby to get a neat appearance. This worked well, although the chin on the lcd panel housing means that you will have to cover the bottom bezel. I just used some black construction paper.I suppose this is a 4.5 star product really, but I'm very happy with the seller so I am happy to round up.

Awesome value for DIY small monitor. Works even with my not listed display panels
I pulled a touchscreen off a Dell inspiron that had a nice 1080p IPS LG display under it. Not a lot of info online for this panel, and I messaged the seller who said they don't have any control boards that would work. Ordered this anyway and it actually worked perfectly. I put the ribbon cable in upside-down at first, so flip yours if it isn't working right away. Also works with another 1080p IPS panel I had from a Dell Latitude (N140HCE-G52). Both are 14" 1080p and have 30 pin edp connectors, so this likely works with any such panel. Powered by a random 12v 2a adapter I had laying around. Taped the board and cables to the back of the panel, set it on a 3d printed stand, and it fits nicely under my Samsung G9 monitor. Just what I needed as a cheap solution for having youtube / discord viewable when playing games in full screen.

Sort of works with two devices, my desktop PC and Raspberry Pi
Works with some devices, but certainly not all. No go on a dvd player with hdmi and a WII with hdmi adapter. Also a laptop spells trouble. No problem on a desktop. Both have an integrated graphics card. Can't figure out why it won't work. I suspect it has to do with the refresh rate. On the desktop it would only really work at 49 Hz and 50 Hz (and not 60Hz). Go figure...Update: tried with an action cam with HDMI out and tablet with Hdmi out. And a second DVD player. No luck. Save your money.Update: After trial and error I got it to work with my Raspberry Pi 3B. I had to use custom DTM settings and set the frequency to either 49 or 50 Hz. Both work in 1920*1080. I would expect most linux distros to be able to this btw. Also, the EDID information that the controller relays is incorrectly setting the preferred display to 1080 at 60Hz, which certainly does not work, not even with manual timing settings. Never got it to work reliably under windows. The best I got was flickering at 49 Hz, nothing at 50 Hz or higher. So unless you're really tech savy or tech curious and don't mind fiddling with monitor timings etc DO NOT BUY.

It works |UPDATE it stopped working|
On my first order they shipped me the wrong product for the wrong display connector, but an easy return and replacement through amazon gave me the right board that's listed for my LP156WF4 SPJ1 panel from a broken Toshiba Satellite P50t-B. Another reviewer posted a 1 star review below complaining that the connector is too small; I fear that they ran into the same problem as I did but did not try to get a replacement.After finding my own 12v 1.5A supply (I didnt have a 2A one unfortunately) the panel easily connects and works at 60hz. However, there is one problem with its performance.There is a noise-like flickering of random pixels throughout the dark areas of the display. It does not come from the HDMI connection; it happens even with no input. Just whenever there is a dark area in an image, random pixels blink red green or blue almost like noise on an old TV when there is no input. The effect isn't noticeable from either long distance or if the dark area isn't the focus on screen, but still this makes the screen is imperfect compared to any other traditional monitor. I wont rule out that perhaps my power supply is too small, but I run it at 50% brightness so I find a lack of power highly unlikely. I can't complain too much, it is a $30 sketchy Chinese board, but I would appreciate any thoughts on what is the problem here if anyone knows.If you have an old laptop display compatible with this board, I recommend this board to find a new life for your panel.|UPDATE| Two days after trying the board with some defects, the second time I try it just doesn't work. First, with everything plugged in the same way it was two days prior, the LED would alternate blinking green and red, implying a connection problem with the display as specified in the manual. So I decided to use the second cable they include. However with the second cable, the LED doesn't light up at all and the display doesn't power on. Changing back to the old cable and the LED still doesn't light up. I do not know what happened, but this board does not work anymore. I was in a static free workspace and was grounded. Along with the artifacting random pixels I conclude that my unit is defective and will unfortunately get a refund for the product. I really hoped this would work.

Does not work with N156hce-eaa* Edit works with
So I bought a new lcd from laptopscreen.comNV156FHM-N42It works perfectly fine with this LCDsending in N156hce-eaa for return currently. will test when I Get a new one.but overall thankfully NV156FHM-N42 works like a charm."I bought this controller board, and it did not work for my screen. N156hce-eaa.Ordering another LCD right now will test and we'll see if it works for the lg displays.If it does and suppose to be plug and play like it should be maybe I will change stars and recommend it."

Easy to set up
Easy to set up, and worked flawlessly. Allowed me to make a laptop screen with a damaged digitizer into a super cheap 14" FHD monitor. I was careful to verify that my exact model of screen was one of the listed part numbers.
