LinITX 7" high brightness-wow

**hari-bhari** · 03-01-2008, 04:10 PM

Well I couldn't get good comparison pics because I could only power one at once, but the TMR is wayyyyyyyyyyyy better than the Xenarc. I went for a drive today in full sunlight, windows down, and EVERYTHING was legible and bright, even on a night skin. The pictures make it look like the screen is more reflective than it really is, but I did what I could.

So here are some of the old Xenarc driving down the highway, no direct sunlight, just a bright day, windows up.

Here are pics of the linitx in bright sunlight, windows down. As you can see, the sun is hitting it directly. Frankly, theres no comparison. The last picture, although a bit blurry, especially highlights the visibility of a night skin during day time. Again that's in direct sun.

Did you have any problems getting a true 800x480 out of it?

**hari-bhari** · 03-01-2008, 04:59 PM

i only run at 800x600 since my card doesnt support it. i dont know what the big deal on this forum is about 800x840 is unless you are examining fonts dot for dot, which i would doubt in a car environment.

Because 800 x 480 on a monitor whose native resolution is 800x480 actually does look a lot better than any other resolution that was rescaled to 800x480.

so where do us americans get one?

It looks like some of the places linked will actually ship to the US. Cartft looks to be the easiest to do so.

so after having this in my car a week or two i'd have to see that im VERY pleased. before with my xenarc, on a bright day, the screen was very hard to read even with windows up and no sunlight directly on the screen.

now with the linitx, i can drive with the windows down and sun hitting the screen directly, and i have NO problem reading anything. even using a night skin during the day looks great. all images are nice and bright, they dont even get washed out. there is a slight reflection from the touchpanel on occasion, but it is so minor its not noticeable. when sunlight hit the panel directly or at an angle, the visibility drops only 5-10% in my opinion. this really is a great solution and a lot less expensive than the transflective.

Does anyone know if there is a service menu for this thing? I would like to change the auto dim settings. The brightest setting is only 70 and should be 100.
