That looks like Adafruit part 1680, I see the cost at 27.50 USD

Add a few dollars and you get resistive touch

They have a big selection of screens, and are sold by many other vendors in the EU, check their website for your specific location.

Edit: it's probably not that part, check pin outs

Why not add a link if you've got the page open anyway?

Fair point, it was early morning, pre coffee.

Thank you, its not the exact one for sure. Mine is from an analogue video display. Just wanted to see if there are any cheap ones i can find that could work

One thing I learned recently is that the protocols for controlling display panels is a bit unstandardized, so if you are replacing the panel in an exisiting device the electronic connections need to speak the same electric language even if the pin arrangement is the same between two different panels.

Yeah i was really hoping i could find one that will just work out the box, but im starting to think it would be better to buy the whole thing new rather than trying to fix it and potentially waste more money into it.

Part of my job is designing products that use this type of display.

Every single one is different, and they only produce them for a few years at a time. Even if the layout and pin count of the fpc is identical, it's likely that the pinout won't be.

Unless you have a very good reason to believe that you found the exact same part, I wouldn't even try plugging a different one in

If its for a specific device you are gonna be stuck getting the exact model as it probably only has driver for that exact version. If its for a project and you can use any screen then check aliexpress.

China

7” lcd with driver board that’s hdmi compatible so super easy to use, $3.39

Looks like an old portable DVD player screen. Check thrift stores you can probably pick one up for a couple bucks and rob the screen from it.

Digikey to find the right one, they have everything with dimensions and datasheets. then can search for if cheaper elsewhere but might not need to. Octopart will tell you other vendors and their inventory, like AVnet, etc.

I have a buddy using these for his projects just because they are cheap

Do you have other parameters than diagonal size? I.e. resolution, color depth, or refresh rate?
