MP3Car Transflective Screen Pics

**rijndael** · 01-28-2008, 11:37 PM

i know its hard to find these pics, so i am posting pics of mine here in an easily searchable thread...if you have a transfletive monitor as well, post pics here so people can see what it is they are spending 700 bucks on...ill post more pics later with an actual clean screen...i hadnt cleaned mine when i took this pics...so no, those are not scratches...its from my stylus

Good pics, although the wear marks over the buttons concern me a lot. Good contrast also, but is this $380.00 better than a Xenarc 7"? Or $500-$550 better than the Shark ones, at 10.4" or 8.1"? I'm not so sure.

I'm each time more inclined to buy a non touchscreen display (and the wear marks do scare me)...we'll see what I can fit in my car first.

Thanks for the pictures any way, they do help!

Have anyone change to compare MP3Car transflective to Motorcity's one and maybe to 3M upgraded?? In same place would be best, but all in sunlight is ok too.. I'm thinking of 3M upgrade to my Dynamix and thinking, is that worth it.

You are better off purchasing an allready upgraded monitor. This has been discussed many times before. Mentioning this just so I dont have to get in to a long drawn out explaination.
My self, I will be purchasing one from motorcity this week. Cant beet the price for 550.00

those arent wear marks, the only wear marks on the screen are from taking my "old" stylus (before i removed the plastic tip and exposed the rubber) on the bottom of the screen where you see the buttons for volume up/down and skip buttons. and the screen is a fingerprint magnet...but I also hear that is the same problem with the non transflective screens...

those wear marks i just mentioned look worse than they really are, because there is oil/whatever it is from the rubber tipped stylus there...the stylus i used was the bendable one for the Nintendo DS that you can wrap around your finger.

I have a motorcity transflective that I am selling for $450. I've had it less than a week.

I know this thread is old now, and not worth updating...but last weekend the screen died. I turned on my car, but the screen didnt. it lasted about 3 years...this sucks...now im out of a screen.
