800x600 Screen Interface

[owatnext]

Hello.

I was wondering, if I were to buy just "any old" LCD with TFT interface, would I be able to connect it to the Raspberry Pi somehow?
I'm talking about this http://ow.ly/3Vfd309hQFp screen in particular. (Or maybe this http://ow.ly/zP3L309hQUI)

I just don't know how TFT screens work and interface with the Pi; I'd like to know if I can just purchase a screen that is the size and resolution that I want and then "Plug 'n' Play."

Short Answer: No especially if you have no idea how LCDs interface to the pi.

Longer Answer:
If the screen has an HDMI or Composite input then it would be easy to connect to the Pi.
If it has some proprietary ribbon cable interface then you will need a custom PCB to allow it to connect to a Pi.

Safest bet, buy a screen from a reputable supplier that provides instructions detailing how to connect it to a raspberry pi.
