I’ve always wanted to build one of these for testing out used PC monitors that are for sale.

bigballs: He means DC from an external source, like an AC->DC adapter, but I gather that you knew that and were just nitpicking on semantics..
Anyway, just thought I’d point out that there is nothing custom about the power regulator, it’s an ultra-low dropout 5V linear regulator, just like any old 3-terminal regulator. Looks like it may have a lower dropout voltage than is typical, but otherwise yeah, standard.

I wish this were a kit. for now I have to bust out the whole laptop to test monitors.

Is the SMPTE test card one of the images? can we use custom test patterns?
