Flight Simulator and Navigation Display Selection
Cockpit and navigation displays must match the instrument opening, native resolution, viewing distance and host output. Select the LCD, controller, touch or bezel stack as one system instead of choosing by diagonal size alone.
Match the Display to the Instrument
| Display position | Typical requirements | Inputs to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| G1000 / glass cockpit | High pixel density, square or portrait format, readable text and stable scaling | Visible window, native resolution, HDMI/DP host output, bezel and backlight control |
| MCDU / CDU | Compact active area, correct aspect ratio, optional touch and shallow depth | Cutout drawing, resolution, interface, key/bezel integration and cable exit |
| Round gauge | Circular visible area, square or round pixel matrix and controlled black level | Visible diameter, mask geometry, native pixels, viewing angle and controller |
| Marine / navigation panel | Brightness, dimming, viewing angle and enclosure compatibility | Ambient light, night mode, optical stack, temperature and mounting |

LCD Module, Controller Kit or Monitor?
A raw LCD module offers the smallest mechanical package but requires correct panel timing, power and backlight control. A controller kit adds HDMI or DisplayPort conversion and may simplify simulator integration. An enclosed or open-frame monitor adds mounting and power functions but requires more depth. Choose the integration level before requesting a model match.
For replacement projects, send the existing LCD model, datasheet, controller board, cable drawing and instrument cutout. For a new design, provide the visible area, native resolution, host output, brightness/dimming requirements, touch need, prototype quantity and annual quantity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a simulator PC drive a raw LCD directly?
Usually not. Most raw modules need an HDMI or DisplayPort controller that supplies the correct LVDS/eDP/MIPI timing, voltage and backlight control.
Should the display resolution match the software output?
Yes whenever possible. Native output avoids scaling artifacts and makes instrument text and lines sharper.
Can a square LCD be used for a round gauge?
Yes if the active area covers the visible diameter and the bezel masks unused pixels. Confirm the safe content area and black level.
How is cockpit night dimming handled?
The controller and backlight driver must support the required PWM or analog dimming range. Confirm minimum brightness and color behavior in the assembled system.
What is needed for a replacement quotation?
Provide the existing panel model, datasheet, cutout, controller, cable, host output, brightness, sample quantity and annual quantity.
Review Your Simulator or Navigation Display
Send the instrument cutout, target resolution, host output, brightness/dimming requirements and quantity. We will assess the LCD, controller and mechanical fit before quotation.
