That's part of it no doubt, but it really is difficult to make a piece

don't view the price as a big obstacle if it actually works. Compare
it to the price of a Furuno 10 inch display.

Have you considered a tablet PC? Some of them are mil-spec.

Don't know much about them, any that you'd recommend ?


Sorry, no recommendations. I just found the remote LCD interesting. So,
I did a little Googling. There seem to be quite a few weather resistant,
or mil-spec Point of Sale, touch screens, but I couldn't find any
wireless ones. This site has submersible and mil-spec touch screens that
might give you some ideas.

The table PC just came from the searching. It would have all the
capabilities of a display, plus would be, in itself, a PC. There are mil-
spec or weather resistant ones, and wireless capability is common.



Now that's more like ot!

What's the big deal.
