Indian Tech Support Scammer vs Raspbian Pixel (Raspberry Pi OS)

Alex shows you how to make your own 15.6" Full HD screen for about $32. Use with Raspberry Pi, DSLR, Video camera or any other computer. http://raspi.tv/?p=9447 We're repurposing a screen from a dead laptop. Some people say "That's not full HD - it says 1280x800!" Well actually it IS a 1920 x 1080 LCD. At 4:48 you can see it's an LP156WF1. If you google the specs you'll see it's a 15.6" WLED full HD screen (which was one of the reasons I bought that laptop in the first place). Here's a place that sells them (although they're out of stock)... http://www.laptop-lcd-screen.co.uk/shop/LG-PHILIPS-LP156WF1-TLE2-15.6__28198.asp So, then, why does it say 1280 x 800 on the video? It's simple. Even though this driver board is capable of running the screen at 1080p, I usually set up my Raspberry Pis to force that mode because it enlarges the text and icons on the screen. You can do this by putting... # settings good for native 1280 x 800 hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 hdmi_group=2 # HDMIPi for 1280 x 800 hdmi_drive=2 # for alternative modes get sound hdmi_mode=28 # 1280 x 800 @ 60 Hz ...into the config.txt
