Brand? Price? Sounds nice? Waterproof? Voltage? Current?
Got a link to a source? Doug "Johnhh" wrote in message ... I have an 8" 800X600 one that I run on a mini-itx (1ghz) machine. I am going to use it primarily for music and as a backup for navigation. I have run NobelTech on it just to see how it would work. Yes it is small, but the screen size and resolution tells you that. The monitor works fine, has a nice clear picture. I haven't really tested it for brightness in bright conditions because I only intend to use it below decks, but the brightness seems as expected with 400 nits. I do understand that some loss should be expected due to the touch screen option. The touch screen works great, I have big fingers and the buttons on navigation software tend to be small and plentiful so can be a little hard to pickout what you want. The provided wand works good for this, but I expect it would be a little hard to use on a rolling boat in any kind of rough conditions. In summary, for my purposes, I am quite happy with it. Hope this helps John "Windjammer" wrote in message ... On eBay, there are at least two types of touch-screen monitors being sold - 7" and 8" size both with VGA input as well as A/V. Has anyone tried using these as displays for marine navigation? In particular, wondering about the resolution and how the touch-screen could be used with popular nav software like Fugawi? |
