hi yall.

hi guys, i will be getting my new elo 17 inch touchscreen tft monitor to use in my jeep in a few hours.

So the question i had was who has the bigget screen screen in the dash in thier ride. not a nice large flip down like we saw in that hummer a few weeks ago in the rear but i mean for use on the pc its self, the primary screen. As fare as i could see i with a 17* am the biggest right now - anyone else have large screens?

cheers guys

Iwill post pictures of the install once i instal the screen this weekend.

cheers yall

Yay stupid large screen that is completely impractical and serves no purpose but temporary bragging rights.

im gonna put a 10" or larger touchscreen (plain LCD with touchfilm over it) in the headliner where the DOME light is now.

Cuz with these Toyota Matrix/Pontiac Vibe, the back seats fold down to make an extension of the flatbed in the hatchback area. IM gonna put a custom air matress there, so when yer out and about you can fold down the seats, turn on the air pump right quick, and lie back with a loved one to watch DVDs or play video games.

that doesnt include the 2 headrest monitors for video games/dvds ill have for my back passengers while driving. but they wont be touchscreen i dont think.

Today's youth... you shouldn't be playing video games when you got your loved one on the air matress in your car. (shakes head)

LOL its funny. BUt everyone i talk to thinks my fiance who likes weed and video games is a rare find for people like me. And yet all of my past girlfriends have been like that. I never bought into the whole TV sitcom/Maxim magazine ideal of hot chicks dating guys and they couldnt be more different. Its bull****, I date who complements me, not who just makes me horny.

And the car I got may have a TALL roof but i dont think with an inflated air mattress you can do anything but spoon maybe.

the only reason I have such a large montir in my jeep is for one simple fact - i have a hard time seeing small screens even on laptops and normal pc's so a 7 inch would not be usable for myself. I can drive just fine but when it comes to the small print on the monitor i need something this big so dont be dissing me for having a large monitor and I am fare from showing off, just interested to hear others project installs / plans ddn

cheers

use large print or get some damn glasses. i never heard anyone on these forums complaining a lilli wasnt big enough to read while driving.

I dont recall the exact thread but there was an install of a 30"+ TV in the passenger seat. Had no room for the passengers feet or really any viewable angle ANYWHERE IN THE CAR. large screens are overkill in car applications, unless they are secondary monitors, and not the main one.

I mean have you even TRIED a 7 or 8" LCD yet in yer car? Have you seeen the front ends on these forums? The point of the GUI frontends is to have LARGE buttons and TEXT for readability, I think yer being a little crazy wanting something so big and power hungry. AND YES U ARE SHOWING OFF.

I've got a 42" plasma that I converted to touchscreeen and mounted in my dash.

I disagree. In a large vehicle like mine, I would love to have that monitor. I wouldnt have to sacrafice any space and it would be very useable. And of course he is showing off. We all are. Like any of us really need a computer in our cars. It's just fun to show off.
