If I were to put it together myself, would you recommend any changes, or build it with the same components as the aliexpress seller? (just curious if you guys have a better solution for the speakers, they are so very quiet)
9.7" iPad Retina Screen Perfect for MiSTer, $60 Fully Assembled 😄
Re: 9.7" iPad Retina Screen Perfect for MiSTer, $60 Fully Assembled 😄
I'm pulling optical audio from my MMS and not bothering with the screen speakers.
Re: 9.7" iPad Retina Screen Perfect for MiSTer, $60 Fully Assembled 😄
Wanted to give a final update to the screens I ordered. The third one has the same backlight bleeding issues as the others. Out of all of them, the least was the first one (with the HDMI/VGA adapter) but was clearly mishandled, same with the 2nd one came damaged out of the box. The third one came clean, no visible damage. The menu buttons were not nearly as good as the 2nd screen, however I did notice this 3rd one has noticablely less input lag (the 2nd one was really noticable and terrible) SO I'm not sure what that is all about.
All of them had their flaws, but I think if the first one didn't have damage, I would have been happy with that one, oh well. Was hoping 3rd time's the charm but really they were all riddled with problems. I'd like to think it's because the screens are older, but I am still using a dell u2410 and it's pushing 15 years old, running every single day for 10+ hours with zero backlight bleed.
I will likely try to find a locked screen and salvage it for parts and try that route, not because it will be cheaper, but because I can inspect the screens beforehand to see if there's bleeding. Buying these from overseas is a gamble, and after talking with the seller, they don't back their products.

It might be worth parting everything out and see if the controllers are actually different. then at least when you get your good screens you can put the best controller and housing with the best screen.
sucks you had to go through three!

I received my screen protectors a few days ago. Really great that they were available again.

I thought they'd be out of stock permanently. I was on eBay for unrelated reasons and saw a suggestion to buy more. I have all I need, but I wanted to share that info here since several people have asked about them after they went out of stock. I'm glad you were able to get them!

Thank you so much for the heads-up! I had checked a couple of times but I also started to think they were not coming back.
I recently had a food stain on the original plastic surface and it was an absolute nightmare to remove, it got way worse initially. It also seems very easy to scratch. I have brought my display to a couple of events, so it will be very nice to have some extra protection on it.

Hello! I just noticed that this screen is unavailable via this link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001689746001.html
Has anyone bought these from another AliExpress seller?

None of these seem to be available for the Netherlands anymore, for some reason. A friend was interested in getting one as well, but that seems to be tricky now.

Does the 2x mini hdmi version still support 50hz?
I have vga version bought a few years and it is 60hz only, but I'm keen to pick a 50 hz unit - if someone can speak to the chances of still being able to pick up a model which supports that.
