hello C64 crew, what about this 7" TFT monitor for C64?
https://www.gme.sk/lcd-7-monitor-do-auta-cl-7016-c

i checked it in that shop and it seems to have S-Video input, one italian man from lemon64 forum created for me S-Video cable (audio is a separate grounded cinch) and it is same cable, but also male, fortunately with that monitor is also female cable so i can replace it.

Oh - I forgot to say that both displays I posted above have the possibility to change the ratio to 4:3 as well.

On the Carmedien 7" you can change also colour, brightness, contrast. It also have build-in speakers.

The cheap 4.3" also have these menus, but changing that preferences have no effect at all [sic!]. I don't know if that is just a defect of my device or if they are using the same electronic for their products, but not all LCDs are supporting the change of the screen-settings.

Okay, so the reason I went with this LCD was because it had a 4:3 aspect ratio and I thought it was worth a shot.

tbh, it leaves a lot to be desired...

This is looking at it from an angle above:

And this is looking at it straight on:

I wonder if something is set incorrectly, like color inversion in a menu, but the seller didn't include a remote.
So, until I get my hands on a universal, we won't know. My assumption is that it's just a really terrible panel.

Anyways... I'll use it, but it was a waste of a 20 spot.

I also ordered a very cheap one with 4.3" from Asia. It also works fine!
It's small, but text is still readable. For using trackers live it's quite acceptable I would say, but nothing you can permanent work with.

On the front is just a "TFT" sticker and on the back are three buttons.

I just bought this one for my 128D, but I haven't received it yet... It looks like the seller only has one more available, so I'd act quick if you want one.

I'll report back once I find a good place to mount it and pull 12v from.

After a long search I can confirm this car-monitor is working with my C64:

you can maybe find cheaper monitors. I've seen some 7" around 20 or 30 € on ebay: http://www.ebay.fr/itm/7-inch-HD-Profes … 33aa726739

or even cheaper for smaller 4,3 " : http://www.ebay.fr/itm/181741830294

but be careful, it seems some are not very compatible with the C64 (refresh problem), have a look at lemon64 forum, there are some threads about this (which I can't find again at the moment)

Hello crew, is this monitor (Thrustmaster for Sony PSone) ok for C64? I want something like that to use with Sid Duzz It tracker and Cynthcard...

Thanks a lot, this is worth a shot. I have an iBook G4 that would work great for this!

According to the info that I see, the driver is PPC compatible but I have no way of testing for sure since I got rid of my last PPC Mac a while ago.

Thanks for that tip, I will look into this, seems cheap enough and specially cool if it works on Mac. Do you know if it would work on PPC too?.

I was quite skeptical of the cheap USB capture devices but I ended up getting one of these iGrabber things. It ended up working out quite nicely once I cobbled together a cable to connect the C64 via s-video. iGrabber also seemed to be one of the few cheap interfaces that work on a Mac.

Not all capture devices work well, specially cheap ones. I have one of those Easycap devices and it doesn't take my Amiga's output for whatever reason. PS2 and Wii work fine.

If you have a laptop (or any computer), you can use a little USB video capture device. I've been doing just that and it works out rather well.

In the picture above, I have the C64's video going to a USB video capture device on an iMac (not in the picture). I then have it displaying on an external monitor that's over by the C64 itself. For portable use, I can do the same sort of thing with my laptop.

do your own research u lazy ppl. theres better ones out there but i cant be bothered finding your gear for you

I'm under the impression that this thread in a forum populated by people who eagerly and freely offer advice in chip music production at the software-, hardware- and everything else-level is part of his research process, that you could use a hug and this sentence is way too long.

I still want an Ikan V2500. It's kind of expensive and close to being out of production, but it's got a thread at the bottom which would go well with a Clamperpod and GorillaPod.
