Brand? Price? Sounds nice? Waterproof? Voltage? Current?
Got a link to a source?

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

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?
