A question for the Beada fans here.

I am buying this particular Beada 6.8" Screen for the front of my Media Server case but will also be buying the Phone screen sized 5" model for a HTPC Formfactor PC build for my brother. This 6.8" inch one is an IPS Panel whereas the 5" one comes in both IPS and TFT screen types. Is it worth paying the extra $20 for the IPS version for a screen this size used as a Sensor panel or should I save that $20 which effectively pays for most of the shipping cost. (I know I can't buy a TFT version of the 6.8" screen as it only comes in an IPS version)

Thanks for the kind words about my modded beada screen. 

As for TFT VS IPS. 

I think the IPS for the extra 20 is better and worth it for a few reasons. One being the colors will prolly be more accurate. The 7 inch beada panel I got didnt have a ips option. If it did I would of got it. I found that the color was off quite a bit when trying to match colors to my monitor. The RGB color codes I had to use for my sensor panel to match my wallpaper were VERY different. It was off by alot!  Another benefit is the IPS panel will have much better viewing angles which might look alot better if using the screen in a case where you are not always looking at the screen dead on.

 

At the end of the day the TFT isnt horrible tho. I still like myn alot.

TFT screens always have weird colours and weird viewing angle issues - some more than others. The best ones can be pretty good, but IPS is generally a better technology, it's definitely worth the $20 more.

I am confused. Calibos said the 6.8" Beada panel is IPS but Criskoe says the 7" Beada panel is not IPS. Is there a 6.8" IPS Beada panel and a 7" TFT panel? This seems unlikely. Can someone clarify this?

Yes they are two different screens with different aspect ratios and shapes

 

The 6.8 inch is a IPS 1280 x 480 widescreen

The 7 inch is a TFT 800 x 480 touch screen 

 

If you look at the pictures above. Myn is the 7 inch screen with a case I made to sit on my desk. And thehinac's is the 6.8inch mounted in his case.

How to mount the panel into the case?  Appreciate your sharing.  Thanks.

3M black double sided tape. I placed it in a way that it over ran off the sides then cut the excess off while it was face down. making sure all sides were perfect so it would be sealed all the way around. Otherwise dust would get in between the screen and the glass.

Hi Awol, thank-you but anyone knows if there is a way to found it in Europe to avoid to pay the extra taxes when we buy extra-europe products?

If you buy it in Europe, the price will increase to already include the sales taxes.

You either pay them yourself when you import the product, or the retailer passes the cost on to you when you buy the product. Either way, you're paying the taxes, they are not "extra".

Generally you just pay the sales tax + the collection fee by the delivery company. You'll need to find out the information for your country.

In the UK for example, it's 20% for VAT (sales tax) and another £10 or so in fees.

Nice. Where did you get the case from? Also the 6.8" screen is not visible on ebay.co.uk - please can you fix.

Yes you can. Actually that was the way BeadaPanel working with AIDA64 before 2019--We call it remote sensor. In early 2019 we worked with FW to develop a new USB communication protocol and then we dropped remote sensor. We can discuss how to use internal web browser in BeadaPanel if you like.

You will need to load a different firmware on BeadaPanel. And then Windows will recognize it as a USB RNDIS card as soon as it pluged in. Config this RNDIS card with a static IP address on Windows and then BeadaPanel will automatically load web pages from the host(server).

That is all of the logical precedures.

Where can I get the firmware/instructions?

No, linux (slackware). Screen size 5"

Can you confirm that your slackware linux can support USB RNDIS Ethernet device? If the answer is yes, then all the proposals will work.

PS, that linux host should have a USB 2.0 port first.;)
