At least that is good news 
However I think it is weird that it does not work since it's iMON compatible display. I understand that all the fancy functions will not work with a generic driver but at least the text should work. Strange!?

I also dont unterstand it - i tried every combinatin i could think of (3rd party in imon on/off, frontview "always" and "never", Plugin Mode in Frontview, most of the drivers in the External Display Plugin) but still nothing.
I will not receive my case until earliest on tuesday next week. I will do some testings as soon as I have time.
Is the display removeable? Because I will not build my HTPC just yet but I was thinking about hook up the display to the USB on my computer I am using mediaportal now and just make some testing.

It is possible, but also a lot of work.
In order to remove the display, you will have to disassemble the whole case (I already did it, cause i wanted to know the kind of the controller chip, used on the display).
After that you have to get out all of the cables.
The next problem will be, that the display is not powered over the usb bus but is using a special ATX Motherboard Cable which is pluged between the Motherboard and the power supply - this allows you to turn on your machine using the remote.
So, you will also have to plug this cable in the pc you are testing the display with.
As you can see, it is possible but very complex.

There are two chips on the board.
One is labeled "LCDSV1 060707" and the other one "SVN25" - in Google I found nothing.
There are stickers on the chips which i didnt remove...just in case i should need the guarantee...
Anyhow, I also made pictures of the LCD (front & back) but they are in a very poor quality (shaken). At least you can identify the labels.
If interested, i could post them.

Well I have to do some testings when I get the case.
But as I understand it...
iMON is a software running on the computer which controls the lcd and ir signals? Or is it just a normal driver?
Is the LCD plug-in just sending "commands" to this software/driver or how is it supposed to work?
Then if this is the case there is something with the iMON driver/software which is not fully compatible with other iMON software/driver for other display which people seem to get working?
