Round and Small LCDs for Flight Simulator, X-Plane and Prepar3D

This is great! 🙌🏽

I had no idea that round LCd displays were even a thing. This is perfect for a simple and reliable gauge display that is remote from the standard gauge locations. Cheers and thanks for the links to the actual products.

But each of the gauges needs a display with a video input from the GPU, right? Usually GPUs have four independent video outputs. Would multiple GPUs be needed for a simple C152 or is there some other solution that I am not aware of?

Is it possible to use it in DCS?

Air Manager was a great improvement in immersion but this could take it to a seriously higher level. Joshua, thanks but could you make a more detailed video? This one raised more questions than provided answers.

Where can you source them? I found a lot on Amazon but is that the best marketplace for this?

Does each one have to have it’s own connection? Do you simply have a 10 or 20 port USB hub?

Can Air Manager support enough screens (I’m estimating about 20 on a small GA aircraft.

What other hardware is needed? Some of the ones on Amazon come with an arduino, some without.

If it has an arduino, is it plug and play?

Thanks for alerting us to this. I might just buy one off of Amazon to play with it. If you have built a panel or cockpit with these, then a video on that would be appreciated. Thanks again.

Wow, I had no idea there were so many different form factors for LCD panels. Those round ones are adorable. Hehehe...

those round ones are so cool. I would love a how to video on how to set one up

If you use multiple round lcd’s where do they all get plugged into?

How many lcd can be run by 1 Arduino. ? E.g. if i want 3 instrument display panel how many Arduino is needed? If these lcd have HDMI we can just extend the monitor right? Then Wht is the use of Arduino ?

Wouldn't every guage need a video input? Id need 13 hdmi slots for a simple helicopter panel haha

Man I want to really thank you a lot for your recommendations. I had been struggling to build my stand by instruments for my DA42 simulator and the wide screens you shared are just perfect. Thank you

This along with your other video on adding tablets etc, am I correct in that these still need airmanager? Or is spacedesk (I think that might be mentioned in your other video?)

I didn’t even know these exist

Thank you

@joshuamarius sounds like a great idea ! Out of interest though, how do you manage to have an individual (steam) gauge as pop-up window (to be put later on the lcd display) ? AFAIK it's not possible to have a single gauge displayed individually ... Using P3D for instance. Thanks !

Dude you're a god send. Gracias de parte de otro hermano Dominicano

I found lots of cheap LCD screens on Amazon just like the ones shown in your link. My question is what else do I need to get them wired up besides just an LCD along with Air Manager. Nobody ever tells you what else you need.. clearly the LCD screen needs to be connected to some type of Adrouino right? And isn’t there some other circuit board you also need inbeteeen the screen and the adrounio? Please help!

Wowww. Are you supposed to connect each individual round lcd to each hdmi board as I might need about 12 round lcd or can they all be connected via single hdmi cable by using multiple port hdmi adapter.?

Another problem im having is if I install one big acreen behind for the gauges, how woud I connect knobs to turn if there is a screen behond?
