How to connect my computer to S4 display module?

[kinghand]

I see someone connect his computer to the S4 display and make it display the computer screen content. Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to turn my S4 display to a computer screen too.

Thanks!

You can't do that. The Display Modules are more than just a screen. They have their own processor and OS.

I would suggest putting a small screen on a monitor arm, or using an iPad with Sidecar. If you do the former, you can get affordable screens on Ebay that are about the same size as the S6 display modules, and probably blend right in with the look.

You can however connect the DisplayPort on the Master Module and mirror it to an external rotated panel to show the same output.

On my Master Module I run a combination of Tight VNC + Remote Ripple (client Mac side) to share the Master Module screens when performing screen sharing, such as for Zoom webinars.

Thank you. What I was trying to do is to display the computer content on S4. Because I can't get use to look at those waveform on it.

Well, that would be the most expansive 12" Computer Screen I can think of

In this case I`d rather sell the Display Module and get a screen that fills the Gap of the Display Module.
There is this Company Beetronics, making all kinds of small size monitors. I am using their 12" 4:3 Monitor for my RTW external meters, and they look a lot like the Display Modules.
Can send you a pic later if you like to see how they compare to the Display Module.

That would be great! Thank you!
I do see two ports under the display module screen which look like DP port. I wonder if I can connect it directly to my computer. So that I can try it first. In case I regret after selling the display module.

Depending on which Master Module you have, you will indeed see DisplayPort and various other ports.
