Re: My first HDMI build
With the higher resolution screen what kind of battery life do you get on a charge?

Re: My first HDMI build
Post updated to include some pictures inside. It's obviously very messy but it works great! Haven't had any issues and have been playing it everyday for more than 7 days now. I hope to find a better and easier way for the hdmi cable.
@VeteranGamer, hows your hdmi adapter doin? I'm looking forward to your hdmi build.

The first composite screen i bought from Amazon consumes more power. Not very efficient driver board i guess coz it gets hot.

my adapters are in....
and everything fits (which is good), just need to solder it all up......
heres a comparison with the standard adapter that came with the screen (no much of a difference)....
i'll solder and test and update on my post (good or bad)....

Re: My first HDMI build
This is ace! I've almost got enough parts for a second build and will try this after my first SAIO build.
Any chance for a precise list of bits n pieces? If not, no drama at all.
Nice work.

Re: My first HDMI build
If you set up the screen like this there's no way to put an external hdmi port to connect to a tv also, right? It seems like a clean way to set up an hdmi screen and gets me thinking about it but I also wanted to put an external hdmi port on mine so I could connect to a tv and play also.
I don't know much about any of this yet but I've been stalking just about every post the past few weeks to try and gain the knowledge and courage to attempt my first gbz since I finished my mintypi build.
