LCDHardwareMonitor

An application for designing and displaying custom content on an LCD screen. It is intended to be extremely customizable, allowing data from any conceivable source to be displayed along with Direct3D content. It is built entirely on a plugin based architecture to allow for easy extension and customization.

This project started with the desire for a far more capable alternative to LCDSysInfo. The primary use case is displaying CPU and GPU utilization in real time. Currently it is Windows-only but is likely to support Linux in the future. The software will remain free, but I intend to build and sell hardware kits for a plug-and-play experience.
