I have the PowerPC iMac G5 without the iSight camera that I have gutted except for the display panel. I think I have the A1058 system. I’m going to use it as a HDMI Monitor/Display. The display panel does work and has no problems. What would be the part # for the displayWould anyone know what converter board to use. Any help you can give me I would love. I would be connecting it to my 2012/2013 Mac Mini

You may want to re-think this as unlike the newer displays, this series uses CCFL’s (florescent tubes) to illuminate the backlight Vs LED’s. As such you need a high voltage power source (Inverter) which is powered by the power supply as you won’t have the logic board you’ll have no means to adjust the brightness. The display is manufactured by LG Philips LM171W02(A4)(M1) Apple P/N 661-3598 The displays resolutions are: 16:10 aspect ratio: 1440 x 900, 1152 x 720, 1024 x 640, 800 x 500 4:3 aspect ratio: 1024 x 768, 800 x 600, 640 x 480
