philhu Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 This device does bitmap or text processing. You have your set to 20x2 text mode....Kind of limiting Is there any way to get a bitmap written to it? The monitor software they supply, although very dated, does do bitmap writes to it, giving you font/size/picture ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 nMedia devices have character based (alphanumeric) displays. They do not support displaying bitmaps. What they do is a neat trick of defining custom characters, in order to show special visual effects. AIDA64 however does not support defining characters for any alphanumeric displays.

philhu Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 ok, got it So what is the best 5.25" front panel display to put in the pc? What do you recommend? The nmedia one just slid in and connected to usb2 header. Anything good out there as easy to put in a system as nmedia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 AlphaCool used to sell a 200x64 pixels monochrome display, but AFAIK it's not sold anymore: http://www.techbuy.com.au/p/82144/COOLING_MISCELLANEOUS_/Alphacool/25417.asp Mini-Box also has a picoLCD 256x64 monochrome display: http://www.mini-box.com/picoLCD-256x64-Sideshow-CDROM-Bay Aquaero 5 (256x64 pixels monochrome) is a nice multi-purpose device, although it's a bit expensive: https://aquacomputer.de/aquaero-5.html Also there's Matrix Orbital GX (240x64 pixels monochrome) that features a very fast USB protocol: https://www.matrixorbital.com/index.php?cPath=40 Then there's Crystalfontz CFA835 (244x68 pixels greyscale): https://www.crystalfontz.com/search.php?q=cfa835&submit=Search AIDA64 fully supports all those displays.
