Looking for good a 8" touchscreen

Hello

I'm looking for a good 8" touchscreen.
This size is the max that fits in my car.
What is a good 8" screen right now on the market?
I prefer a widescreen, but it's not a must.

In the shop I see a
Lilliput 8" Widescreen VGA Touchscreen 889GL-80NP
But when I read the reactions here for this screen.. they are not really good

I have also an eye on the VM84 8.4in TFT-LCD
http://short-circuit.com/details/detail.php?id=VM84

What other 8 inches are there on the market that are good?

And maybe a stupid question.... but how do you guys turn the screen on,
and acces the settings of the screen when you build the screen in the dash ??

Like this one..

I have a lilliput 889gl and I like it.

Yes.. but my choise is fallen on these two

The liliput connector is not very friendly... it's build a bit crappy I think.

Please some more replys??

I'd suggest running a search on here for those model numbers and see what people's experiences are.

Not everyone has experience with every product on the market.
