LCD

Hello!

I'm going to use LCD in my project.

Please, help me, what models of LCDs are compartible

with Altera FPGAs? What is the best way to control LCD:

to send commands to LCD controller from NIOS or to

buy LCD without controller and to create embeded controller?

Anybody have experience to work with LCD?

    I have an experience in with LCD controller

    i download vga_treaming example and based on this example make my own LCD controller.

    Unfortunaly all VGA examples from altera have not very good VGA timings, so anyway if you will do embeeded VGA controller you must to fix timinig problems.
