criskoe Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Hello. These days what are the best smaller screens for aida 64? Specifically one that only needs a USB connection for power and signal? No HDMI. Just simple USB. Do they exist? Also one that isn't to hard to obtain for North America. Looking for a simple clean desk setup. Open to different sizes and shapes. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmanrigger Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 BeadaPanel is a bit pricey, but beautiful display. Ships from China. Or you can use Odospace and and old Android phone or tablet. Either solution works and powered by USB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking all over it seems to be the easiest best simple clean implementation for a screen. But my only issue with them is the lack of a full body case for them. I was hoping to find something that will look like a real finished product sitting on my desk. Its too bad they dont offer cases for their screens.

criskoe Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 They seem to have some pretty good screens too. But still no cases or aftermarket ones I can find tho I'm really surprised none of the big gaming companies have come up with a polished finished product like this. I mean the closest thing is the Corsair Nexus thing but its way too small. Needs to be like 2-3x bigger at least. Even though its kind of a niche product, I still feel like people would eat it up if it was made nicely. Cause right now most of the screen mods I see on peoples cases look so janky and unfinished imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themul56 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I would assume these work. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/aoc-i1601c-15-6-led-ips-fhd-usb-c-portable-monitor-black/6437796.p?skuId=6437796 They have one that's $5 cheaper also.

Miroresh Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Sorry for the resurrection but did you find a panel? I'm also in my search of a single USB cable monitor On 8/7/2021 at 9:46 AM, criskoe said: Hello. These days what are the best smaller screens for aida 64?

I'm also in my search of a single USB cable monitor Yeah I did.. Ended up going with Beada panel but had to do a bit of fabrication to get what I wanted. I posted about it in another thread. Ill just copy past it here again. My Logitech G19 was starting to finally die so I needed a simple Aida lcd screen solution for my desk that looked good. I really wanted something clean looking with a simple usb connection. No hdmi second screen tweaking. After searching, there doesn't seem to be a completely finished option available at all surprisingly. Just janky 3d printed stuff. Shame really. Anyways, I ended up going with the 7 inch Beada panel cause it comes with a front bezel at least and figured I could make it work some how. After lots of brainstorming on what would be the easiest way that would look good. I came up with this. I Used a 1/6 thin sheet of ABS plastic that I cut and bent to wrap around the sides of the screen and sandwich between the bezel lip and back acrylic plate that comes with the screen. I also attached a cheap iPad stand to the back acrylic plate with some small nuts and bolts so the screen can tilt at multiple angles and stand up solid and sturdy. Lots of adjustment with Zero wobble. And lastly gave all the parts a nice thin coat of flat enamel spray paint. I think It turned out pretty nice. I'm very please with it. Could actually almost pass as a finished product. Over all it wasn't too hard to make. The side cover part was a bit of a pain to get the bends perfect so they were flush with the bezel and back plate. Took me 3 or 4 try's to get the piece perfect. The rest was super simple stuff. It would be nice if Beada could included a simple Side trim ring like I made for their screens. Really cleans it up. Im also so happy I went with a display that only needs a USB cable for both power and display. I hated the idea of using HDMI and second screen issues and weirdness. USB only is the only way to go IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayvee Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I also set up a Beada Panel. It worked out so well I ended up installing 2. One took the place of my dual CD ROM opening (7” Panel) and the other inside the PC (5” Panel). Looks and works great. They are USB powered and I’m still trying to figure out how to play videos using DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows11.0 with no luck, any ideas.

BeadaPanel has it's own USB Graphics Driver for Windows. Here is a link for detailed procedures of installation--> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
