New 7 inch DVI touchscreen by lilliput

Lilliput is getting ready to release their new 7" touchscreen that has native DVI and component digital out. Previous models such as the 629 had only VGA, Composite and S-Video.
What is great about this monitor is that it's now extra versatile. They left the pigtail plug on the monitor and just added the extra DVI and component cables. That means you have the option to output to 5 different video sources, DVI, VGA, composite, component and s-video.
The connectors for DVI came out of the bottom of the unit, whereas the pigtail connector came out of the side. So this may affect some installations but just be aware that it *may* be changed.
The digital output was, in our opinion, more defined in terms of the colors. More specifically the blacks were blacker and the whites were whiter.
The only down side we noticed is that the DVI output seemed to have off colors. The ocean in the video seemed very green, even though on VGA it was blue.
All the settings for the test were brightness 50% Green 50% blue 50% and red 50% with a resolution of 800x600. They ran from the same ATI graphics card playing BBC's blue ocean on VLC player.
This product should be coming soon to the mp3Car store, so look out for it.

I would think that the car computer/ecu can calculate flows etc. However it will be wrong info. Everything displayed on the dash will be slightly wrong (assuming it was correct in the first place) speed odometer mpg.
Taxi drivers in some places install smaller tires so all the equipment in yhe car thinks that the distance travelled is more and the taximeter charges you more.We also need to know if your RPMs take that into account, and then we need to know how much the diameter affects your MPG. Along with that to make a comparison we need to know how much friction loss you get from inflating to the equivalent amount, and see what the MPG is of that.
My guess is that you will need to over inflate a lot less because of friction than the extra revolutions that occur as a side effect.Just to see how much if affects the readins I will try to measure by how much the diameter changes.
Will report back
