Hi everyone,
Decided why not to post an update since my build will be celebrating its birthday in about a month.
TLDR; it still just works daily, without any issues.
So don’t be afraid to build and use
My setup includes A1419 iMac foundations, JRY board, wires speakers, original PSU, soldered power button, installed joystick for OSD, usb-C and DP (mini DP) connectors via extension cables, standard fan with Noctua controller.
3D printed desk riser.
The monitor’s been used pretty much daily in my home office with MBP via USB-C connection, as well as for occasional gaming via DP cable with a windows PC.
Features wise, it’s super used to control display brightness from MBP via software.
As well as I’ve got used to using the built in speakers while gaming for OK ish sound quality.
Additionally, the monitor survived air freight transportation when I was moving to another country (hi, UK!) and just powered on after unboxing!
Well, sometimes I wish it was brighter and had less glare. Sometimes I wish it had OLED or higher refresh rate when gaming.
But it’s still a pretty damn decent monitor for office work, especially for what it’s worth.
If you have any specific questions about my experience - let me know!
