With the price of small, 15 inch, flat panel displays now down into the $200 range you can use one of those, protect it reasonably well, and take your chances without risking a king's ransom. I have an ordinary 15 inch flat panel which has now survived 5 years on two different boats. I protect it (when necessary) with one of those large platic envelopes that Maptech sells to protect their chartbooks. Brightness is reasonably good, although not as good as my Furuno chart plotter, it is brighter than most laptop screens. I think if you mounted one on a pivot arm you could probably use it either at the nav station or in the companionway area. I agree, and it saves you having to take out a mortgage on a real daylight waterproof screen. |
