This is actually really smart how it works. Correct me if I'm wrong, but when the screen turns on its opening the filters that would normally allow the backlight to come through which would be coloured from the reflectors, but since there is no backlight panel, or reflector on the screen it just turns transparent.
@@Ananords Thanks for confirming. I've been contemplating doing it to my case, but it has 2 glass panels so I'm thinking of getting custom ones made for it. But for now ill enjoy being able to see into my case until I can afford upgrades lol.
@Ananords so the LEDs that were put on the sides and top are there so that the black objects moving on the display screen are viewable right? They can be powered from a separate power supply?
@@TheSocialPraxis yeah, the extra light strip's are just to light the inside to make it more obvious. So if you haven't already got rainbow vomit spammed throughout your pc you'll probably want to add a light in
Great tutorial, I was able to do this project a few years ago but using a raspberry pi inside with a video loop and accessed via vnc to keep PC free of extra work. Great job!
I've been thinking about doing this mod myself for a few years now, especially now I'm thinking about a new build. The pi-route is the way I'd go too, set and forget, maybe hook the pi up to on-board usb for power and script the display loop on startup.
You know I'm curious why someone would give this a thumbs down. To me it's clearly a very clever build that was recorded and edited very well. A lot of hard work went into the build and the video production. One thing I'd like to add is that this looks like a great opportunity to use a raspberry pi zero to drive the display without using the PC's GPU. The Pi zero can easily do 1080P video with VNC access.
I just learned about this mod and this was the first video i found about it. Awesome job and craftsmanship! I'm going to start sourcing parts to do this for my winter project.
Oh man, this is an Awesome mod. I'm thinking about trying it myself. Nothing to loose, the LCD you use is available for 20€ and i got the same case. Only think you loose is time, and i was thinking about doing case modding for so long, so this is a good starting point :'D Also thanks for your written instruction, you clearly got my sub for this! :)
Ok this is definitely going to be my next project, like this is the coolest thing I've seen in a very long time. Just gotta find an lcd that would fit my case.
I did it. To make the screen more transparent, set the monitor settings brightness and contrast to maximum. And Bad Apple is best wallpaper for this project. Let me know, if you will find more cool black and white wallpaper c:
I was wondering if this was still being talked about, and done by case modders. I did my own snowblind mod, but my variation uses all plug and play componants that are powered off of the USB of the motherboard, including the display, granted it is more expensive than the tearing down an old scrap monitor like most people do method but, it is still cheaper than buying the case from ibuypower, and it can be done to virtually any case, and swapped between cases pretty easily. I bet even a small form factor pc could be done. Good work. I may post a video of my version so that people who want a version that doesn't require soldering can try my version.
@@BlahBlah-oj2dy ok. I'm actually going to do a refresh of mine as I found better light strips for the back lighting, so i'll work on getting a video up.
@@poke__8413 I have the first part filmed already. I'll finish filming tomorrow after im off work, so should be posted late tomorrow or early Saturday.
Take a continuity test between one of the mounting holes (often grounded) and the pins to find GND. Then, measure voltage between that pin and the rest. You can also try googling the serial number of the power supply and driver board.
I just did this mod with a simpler monitor I found for free. It was cool at first, but you have to have a shitton of LED backlighting for it, and it bleeds out the side of the case pretty bad. Maybe not great for the h510 case, but it’s still cool
05:28 nice job but i couldn't see what you soldered to which pin. u wrote voltages but after u soldered only 2 gnd (black cable) to pins. can u give me detail
I tried this and accidentally EMP'd everything within 15 miles of my home and now the NSA says I'm going on vacation to some place called Guantanamo. Sounds tropical, I'm gonna bring my Hawaiian shirt! 🤘😎🤙
@@NVRMTmotion The water wears down the adhesive holding the sheet to the LCD but it needs time to penetrate the sheet. That's why it takes such a long time.
I have been keeping my eye out for this display for a few months now due to its aspect ratio and just picked up two for free, i could use any panel with an LVDS driver board but wanted this screen because of its shape but the ease of using the existing driver board is so trivial its not even worth using an aftermarket LVDS board and to make things even easier, my screens board has the voltages printed on the PCB next to each pin!
Attempted to do this with an lg l1952s-sf, it wasn't as clear as your's, it was like looking through foggy glass and no amount of lighting helped. it had anti glare layers on BOTH sides, eventually scrapped it :(
I am having the same issue. I have found 2 that are +5v and other various voltages. I'd assume they all still have to be powered, I have no idea how though.
You probably only need to power the 5V lines. In my case 3 of the pins where 5V and connected together. You can do a continuity test and see if yours are connected together.
Did you see the "new" display of Sun Vision "Featuring RLCD Technology" ?? Are you able to replace the backlight with a mirror or any other reflective material to convert/make own RLCD ? some kind of DIY.
Why did you remove the "top layer" as that looks to me like you just removed the polarization filter and is required for an LCD to work. Or was that a different layer of film/plastic? Because when you remove the polarization filter all you see is straight through (with a backlight, white) so I'm not quite sure what is going on lol.
I did this to my Minivan Windows. But due to the TINT of the glass, it was hard getting a good image out unless it was Pitch dark around the car with the upgraded LED Dome lights. I had to add extra lights to the windows, and they worked out ok. The next big step is semi Flexible transparent OLED displays like LG showed off on Linus Tech TIps. I've seen the small ones, and they are cool. But I'm going to need more like a 10 inch screen or larger to make it worthwhile. I tried using Micro projectors, and they worked out pretty well that way. I used a Asus Chrombook with the HDMI out, and it worked a treat. Same with some Samsung Tab Pro320 tablets with the Samsung MHL adapter. Today? I think' I'll just use a some Amazon FIre sticks.
You would just add more of the vynil or electrical tap to hide the area of the side panel that isn't the screen. This would essentially make a bezel around the screen.
Ill try it today mate I bought the same screen as u did. U put water on the screen to remove the top layer right ? Any Otter Tipps u didnt put inside this awesome Video?
Why need to disconnect the power and add sata or molex? Could you just lay the boards out of the way? I feel like you’re basically keeping the monitor with original connections but removing all case hardware, film, and backlight?
how did you determine which 5v connectors to connect to your psu? I dont understand how you foudn the continuity of the 5v and did you connect them yourself, o did you mean that theyre already connected by design and determined through the continuity tests? confused on this part.
on this video when your testing the Voltages and whats - and + can you explain it better on how we can do that and what your doing as it dosent really help around that part. thanks
I have the same case, wondering how to hide the small board that runs the length of the screen? Do you have any pictures of how you mounted the controller board? Thanks!
Will have to try, but I do not want to have it as another separate monitor... will have to take a look on some solution to keep it somehow separate from my setup... 🤔
i don't see the purpose of removing the matte film as it doesn't hinder visability or tint. Even if you remove it, its not crystal clear like a window pane.
Hey, great project and video! I'm just doing this myself to a Dell Ultrasharp 24" Everything seems to be going wel. Question about power. My setup is standalone and fed from a Raspberry Pi. I'd like to power the LCD from the Pi using USB. Am I right in thinking I can use a USB to molex cable and do similar wiring that you did using Sata?
Hi! And thanks:) You can just do the 5V to the monitor directly, since the monitor does not support molex or sata. So you can take a USB cable, cut it, and feed the power to the monitor.
I don't know what you did to make it that bright. The screen I used is realy grey/bluish where it should be white/transparent. tried all the settings on the monitor. Do i need more background light? I used a LED LCD display.
Can you program like anime type of animations on it? Like the ibuypowers snowblind case cause i just to make the panel not the whole case the cast sucks. Im gonna be making this for a corsair 4000d/5000d airflow case would i be able to do this with that case?
This is great to watch. I am in the process of making my own mod. However I am having trouble wiring the controller board to internal PSU. I have already fried the first one I tried to wire up. Could you please explain how you determined how you wired it up and what your readings mean? Thanks.
I measured the output of the power supply in the monitor, and found what voltages it gave out. I found out that it uses 5V, therefore I connected the 5V of the monitor to the 5V of the molex connector. More info in my instructables (see in the description of this video)
@@Ananords I did that with mine and found 2 wires that gave 5v and 1 wire that gave 3.3v. However when I disconnected the other 2 wires that were also present that seemed to have no voltage going through them only leaving the 5v and 3.3v connected it wouldn’t power on.
The other two wires might be used for feedback from the power supply, maybe temperature? Just to be sure, the only wires you have connected now is 3.3V, 5V and Ground?
Is this sharing a hdmi part of the computer or does it have its own display input from something else? What is the power requirements to run something like a transparent lcd panel, Can it run on 12v?
I have a perfectly white pc and i really want to do this ..... I may just remove the screen and attach it to my side panel. No soldering ... Its too hard for me. I think it will work the same way
Hey, I’ve always wanted to try this. I think I understand everything up to the point of powering it. In this video you’re desoldering from the Power supply board, so we’re does the screen draw power from?

Take a continuity test between one of the mounting holes (often grounded) and the pins to find GND. Then, measure voltage between that pin and the rest. You can also try googling the serial number of the power supply and driver board.
The schematics for the board are usually available on the internet but it's also very common for the traces to be labeled.
