Thread: I need some opinions on hardware.

I think you've nailed it.
The screen quality is acceptable as far as most users are concerned. I'd read thru the forums for individual perspectives. Don't excpect to see anything in direct sunlight. That's not the EBY-701, but nearly all 7" screens that have not had modifications made to them.
And the HDD power consumption should be just fine.

The EBY-701 that I'm getting does have a transflective upgrade made to it. If you follow the link underneath it it's actually a pretty cool package. Mo-Co-So took an EBY-702 and gave it a transflective upgrade. Then they took it out of its case and mounted it in a double din bracket. It seems like the perfect package for a car.

Thanks for the info. That's kind of disappointing. Anything priced much higher than that is out of my budget though so I'm going to have to deal with this screen, at least for a while. As long as it works in general and is a little bit better than most screens then this package is the easiest route to go with for me.

Just ordered everything. I'll let you guys no how it all turns out when I get the stuff.
