Thread: Whats the difference between the 700TSV and 705TSV

Ok, after some digging around, eventually found the answer, so i'll reply to my own post for anyone's else's reference.

I purchased it. Saved me $100 compared to the 700TSV. I personally think it's crisper than the older 400Nit 700TSV my friend has. I can't compare it to the new 500Nit as I have yet to see one.

here is the 5-Wire Resistive Tochscreen Advantage (copy/paste from xenarc.com):

-5-wire resistive analog technology is superior to 4-wire, 8-wire and resistive matrix technologies
-Most durable resistive analog - drift-free operation even when exposed to temperature fluctuation
-Life span of 35,000,000 touches versus 1,000,000 touches from 4-wire resistive
-Increased optical clarity equals higher brightness and a sharper display
-Greater touch point density means better accuracy
-Faster response time and increased speed
-No external electronic correction needed

So, getting the 700TSV for $100 more seems fair to me, you get 100 more brithness and the things above.

Think i'll leave the 840TSV as its slightly too big for my project.

Thanks anyway guys.
