Hey there,
Recently I have decided to get some of these P4 LED matrixes for a home project of mine:
- Two of these:

- One of these:
https://de.aliexpress.com/item/3302...etail.1000023.8.433d7ff7Divn59&storeId=933144
I would then want to arrange the matrixes so that they were all landscape (Making a 160x32 display)
My issue is that for my project I need to send video from my computer to the matrix so that it acts as a second monitor. I have looked for so long and have found no solution that will decode any video source (HDMI/DVI/VGA) for the LED matrix. There are 'sender' and 'receiver' cards which will send the decoded video signal for the matrix (originally DVI) and distribute it to the matrixes at the receiver card, but this totals a cost of over £100 and is not cost-effective for my small project.
Sender card is called TS802D and receiver card is called RV908M if you want to look
I also saw this GitHub project where an HDMI signal is decoded by a Spartan6 FPGA, but I can hardly program an Arduino so I am not confident taking that path.

Can anyone more experienced with this suggest any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
