We're still working on the details. It'll either be a connector where the screen cable just slides right in, or it'll be solder pads/ holes on the board laid out such that the connector could easily be added -- the latter approach would make it easier for folks to add other panels if they wanted to -- but the convenience of the former would make "I don't want to have to solder" kit assembly easier. Which would folks prefer? C |

I am partial to the first one, connector on board to slide cable right in.

With connector board and lcd together then I would want the connector built in.. If I were buying seperately, I may want the connector board with out the connector and just pads.. But if I had to choose between these options I would be interested in a kit with the connector on the board and the lcd together. --Tim |

Erm, "I don't want to solder"! :) Oh, and available yesterday? ;) [Kidding!] Seriously good news if we can get to the point of just 'clipping' in a screen, and away you go :) Just my $0.02's worth :) -Kp |

Would the connector be offered as a no-fit option? I'm tempted to say "fit the connector" - but if the panels are not RoHS-compliant, the whole thing might be unusable... Vic. |

The panels we would be selling are RoHS compliant. We probably don't want to have to stock 2 SKUs of everything with connector populated vs. not populated, if that's what you're asking when you say "no-fit" option. C |
