    You can find them pretty cheap, and they work better for working in windows.

    check ebay, there are some deals out there
    example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MESE:IT

    I'll agree with you on the 7 inch screen - they are decent at running video and playing music, but not the best for GPS or working in windows straight up.
    Well... I can't fit any bigger than a 7" at the moment, unless I completely hack away my dashboard which i'm not wanting to do.

    Hey guys.. take a look at this one!

    8" TFT LCD monitor with TV tuner" sounds really good in my ears.

    But i guess you connect the computer along this connection...
    -> 2 x Video in (two channels)
    If so this mght me a very good option.
    What do you think?

    Take a look at what?

    If I only have the info you provided, I'd say no. Composite will nog give you a good image. You need vga to get good readable text.

    @corsamel: just do not use windows front-end on it! Seriously, all the carpc front-ends are made, just because you wouldn't have to use explorer and the likes.

    No vga input and bad resolution. I wouldn't use it for anything more than watching tv...

    ok.. missed that one.

    But Im still confused if im gonna buy the 7 or 8 tft Touchscreen of lilliput

    7-> http://www.mp3car.com/store/product_...products_id=33
    8-> http://www.mp3car.com/store/product_...products_id=42

    Doesnt the 7tft widescreen seams to be a little bit to small..
    And what about the viewing angle in the 8 tft? Ok, its bigger but maybe its not so great avfter all?!?

    All comments and tips are welcome =)

    As other people have said, you have to use a carpc software frontend in order to make things look nice (i.e. frodoplayer), then even 7" will look big. Many people run 7" screens and are satisfied. I am even able to use the XP desktop on my 7" screen using just my touchscreen interface, so the buttons and text area's aren't that small anyways.
