I don't have any experience with that one but it looks like it may have
something in common with the Panasonic Toughbook Wireless Displays.



Yes, I think that's it:

I already have an older Panasonic Toughbook laptop and it's a good
unit, surviving several salt water showers and one 3 ft drop. With a
remote display I could leave the laptop down below in a safer
environment or even run a more powerful desktop box.


Big enough to see, and bright enough to read, that looks like a much
better choice, there are still a couple of gotchas involved.

1 it's still only rated moisture resistant. Maybe it will survive
spray - maybe not.

AND 10 hours on a set of batteries.
