8.82-Inch LVDS Square TFT LCD for Flight Simulator Applicati

I've been experimenting with custom-built instrument panels for my home flight simulator setup, especially for gauges that don't fit well on standard 16:9 screens. Recently I started testing a square-format 8.82-inch LVDS TFT panel, mainly because its aspect ratio works better for certain cockpit instruments (HSI, RMI, engine gauges, etc.) where circular displays need more vertical space.

For anyone interested, the panel I’m referring to is this one:

(Just sharing the specs because I couldn’t find many options online.)

A few things I’ve noticed so far:

• The square layout makes it easier to render round gauges without wasting screen space.

• Because it's LVDS, it pairs with most common driver boards, but you still need to make sure the board supports the specific timing parameters.

• Brightness and viewing angle seem quite decent for cockpit environments, especially if you're building a physical enclosure around the screen.

• I'm still testing compatibility with common USB display adapters and SimHub-style rendering tools.

Has anyone here integrated square LCD panels into their sim pit?
Curious about:

• which driver boards you're using,

• best software for instrument rendering,

• whether you’ve tried combining multiple square panels for a multi-gauge layout.

Would love to hear what setups others have experimented with.
