    I have a Philips 7ff1m4/05 and I was wondering if it was possible to make it work as a screen through the usb port by flashing new firmware onto it?

    Kinda like this, but not as fúcked up....

    Heh, that vid was stolen from Sprite's page :D

    It really depends on how close your frame's mc is to an off-the-shelf PIC and even then you'd need to have a frame that can update its firware via USB and know how to hack the firmware to reprogram the mc. Even then, you'd need to write a wee low-CPU-usage program to write compatible image data to the frame :o

    Its darn interesting for mods though, as small VGA panels are incredibly expensive as are USB/VGA/DVI > LVDS universal panel controllers for use with a cheap run-of-the-mill LVDS panel. And given the death of S-Video/Composite analog transmission standards, ripping panels and their mcs out of cheap/damaged appliances and reprogramming them for use as USB monitors is the way forward for many a modding project ;)
