Waterproof external monitor for laptop
Glenn,
To be honest, I don't know if they are, but an email to them would sort it out. I do know that they are very good and not too bad in price.

At only 350 to 600 nits those exterior displays don't seem to be daylight viewable. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

David, There are several issues that make PC screens unsuitable for marine use. There are considerations for power, protection from the harsh enrinment etc., but a real driver that few people are aware of is night viewing. It is imperitive that the display dims to black. PC monitors will not. Marine grade monitors are more money for two reasons. One is certification tests and the other is durability. Please check out this site. http://www.hatteland.com/ They make a large majority of the available marine screens relabled under different brands. If you avoid the commercial certified screens and go with the yacht screens, you will end up with the marine performance sans certification costs. Please also be aware that when interfacing things like black box radars, be aware of aspect ratio, not just screen size. If the screen size does not physically match the resolution to be used, circles appear as ovals and that really looks horrible. Steve "DPFresh" wrote in message oups.com... Hi all, different topic. SO in setting up my nav center - Dell laptop with SeaClear software... I want to keep the laptop in the cabin so as to avoid exposing it to elements... So I was thinking I could find some sort of waterproof external monitor to run from the laptop to outside the boat near the tiller.... Does anyone know of such a monitor for this purpose? Thanks, David |
