Hi Richard:

I don't understand what you mean by what Lcd Port is?

I think the question is, what do you mean byt an "LCD port"?

Are you, perhaps, thinking of the 15-Way D-Type on the back of a PC?

Or what?

Some things which may be called "video ports" are shown here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List...interfaces - is that the kind of thing you were thinking of?

Composite video has horizontal and vertical frequencies front porch and back porch signal.

Note that these aren't distinct signals as such; they are the components that, together, make up the composite video signal - hence the name, "composite".

How does that fit in with Lcd port that you write code to it?

That, again, depends on what you are envisaging by an "LCD port" when you say that!

Understand that you initilize Lcd and then write code to it, but do not understand the comparsion to composite video?

That really depends on what specific "LCD" you are talking about.
Or, more importantly, what type of controller is built-in to it...

I think what you really want is an LCD monitor?

Building your own LCD monitor from scratch is a major undertaking - it requires a detailed understanding of both the LCD and video signals.

You might want to try to get hold of a copy of the book Video Demystified - see: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/23781
(the Amazon link still seems to work, but not the book's own site)

                  Well, that's what I was wondering.            01/01/70 00:00
