Hi, thanks for reading!
I want to turn the display of an Asus laptop (ROG g513qy) that died because of a CPU failure into a monitor. I have researched about the display's requirements and it seems like I need a DP to eDP adapter board that uses a 40-pin eDP connector, I already confirmed that my display has that one by removing the display from the laptop.
My main concern is regarding the controller board I can get in Argentina. The only listing that I found doesn't provide a deep technical datasheet, so I am hesitant about the compatibility. To confirm that it is compatible, I attached the images that look more informative and one with the cable that they list as compatible, which is a 40pin eDP.
Also, the display specs taken from the panelook website are:
- Model: BOE NE156QHM-NY2
- Resolution: 2560 x 1440
- Interface: 40-pin, 4-lane eDP
- Refresh Rate: 165Hz
And, the specs of the board (here is the board listed on Alibaba):
- Model: DP-EDP H8 4K 120 (Generic Scaler Board)
- Max Supported Resolution: 3840 x 2160 @ 120Hz
- Output Interface: 40-pin eDP
- Inputs: Mini-DisplayPort, USB Type-C (Power & Video)
I would like to know if this board will work with my display. Or how plausible is it, because given that it is not that expensive, I can take an informed risk. A secondary question I have is wether the board will natively pass the 165Hz EDID over Mini-DP, or will I be forced to use CRU (Custom Resolution Utility)?
Any advice is appreciated!
