Reply With QuoteIs it the contrast or the brightness? I dont know if you can increase the brightness, but i dont think you can increase the contrast.
Okay guys, I have a CTX Panoview 540 (10.4") I am using in the car now, but I've learned fast that 100:1 contrast (100 nits?) isnt enough, it washes out in even indirect sunlight.
What are the chances that I can somehow replace the panel inside to a brighter one, utilizing the same controller?
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'm all ears.

Project AutoBoxen: Coming along, almost ready to hook up in the car.
Celeron 500, 192mb ram, 8gb hdd, other stuff.
'91 Mazda 626: Its free, so ill use it.
here's a quick update. I opened the thing up, and the LCD controller uses an Actel A1225XL chip. The panel inside is a Toshiba LTM10C209A which after a quick search, I found the data sheet for it. Here are the optical specs:
Contrast Ratio: Min: 100, Typical: 250
Luminance: Min: 190, Typical: 250 cd/m^2
here is the link for the datasheet:

I managed to crank up the brightness on the screen a bit, I will know tomorrow how well it will react in daylight.
Thanks,
Lee
