Portable TV

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hello my name is Isaac. A couple weeks ago I bought an Amazon Fire TV Stick. While I was In the car and thought "I should make my Fire TV portable to use at I place." Now I know they make Fire tablets, but I wanted to make a portable TV screen it self. Fire TVs require HDMI input sockets; I tried making one, but don't know how to use a regular everyday led screen to turn into a TV screen with a default input to HDMI port. If anyone out there knows how I can make a portable TV with portable power supply please tell me. It would also be nice if it was on "The Ben Heck Show" it self, but know it probably won't be. PS: thought about using a car backup screen and just putting it in to a 3D printed mold with a HDMI (F) to AV (F) and 12v battery, but have not tested it yet.image

    Hi Isaac

     

    Nice to see somebody willing to take on a build.

     

    Your suggestion about taking a reversing system display may be the easiest, the items are commercially available.

    Do you have the LCD pictured?

    OK I must ask what do you mean by having the LCD pictured? What does it look like or an image input to the LCD.
