Basement workshop monitors for all! Through FPGA wizardry and sheer will of force, cirthix/ZisWorks has made a custom controller and backlight driver that is theoretically compatible with many Innolux panels. A fully assembled x28 28" TN monitor runs $940 USD and if you can find an old Seiki SE39UY04 39" 4K tv, a conversion kit runs $495. ZisWorks has also confirmed that the 42" v420dk1 panel is also fully compatible, still trying to track down what TVs would have used this panel. It looks like both the TCON and the Backlight driver are able to updated with improved firmware down the line.

Both of the models are able to run at up to 4k@120hz utilizing two DisplayPort connections, full list of resolution/refresh rates:
3840*2160 @ 120Hz (two input groups)
3840*2160 @ 60Hz (one input group)
3840*1080 @ 240Hz (two input groups)
1920*1080 @ 240Hz (one input group)
3840*720 @ 300Hz (two input groups)
1280*720 @ 300Hz (one input group)
3840*540 @ 480Hz (two input groups)
960*540 @ 480Hz (one input group)​

I was lucky enough to source a fully intact SE39UY04 through a friend, and pre-ordered the x39 conversion kit. The thought of 1080p@240Hz on a 39" TV for my racing sim setup was too good to pass up. The installation seems to be straight forward enough, and after my experience with the original DIY GSYNC kit, I'm fairly confidant I can pull this off. Just (im)patiently awaiting my pre-order.

Any others interested in this? Really looking forward to seeing these kits in the wild.
