Thanks to all who have contributed. I went to the boat show, and there
appears to be one coming out in February at a reasonably sensible price.
I'll believe it when I see it

A quick google for "marine display" will bring you a lot of hits, here are
a few:

To run it off of a PC you'll want to get a touchscreen model. Anyone that
says "I don't need that, I'm only going to look at it..." has not been
there. And anyone that says "I'll use a cordless (name any human
interface device)..." has not tried it yet.

I've been around some good sunlight displays and have not seen a good one
yet that was not about the same price as buying a good chart plotter. For
what you spend for a good 12-15" display you can buy a Raymarine C120 and
some chart chips.
