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.
