This is pretty cool!

3.5" VGA LCD, World's Smallest TFT VGA LCD

Would be a great second monitor in the visors or wherever, don't think I'd use it as a primary LCD, my eyes just ain't that good

It had VGA, composite and S-Video. I've also seen touch screens on e-bay in this size. A little spendy at $298.00, but it is pretty cool.

I'll be ordering one just for kicks soon, I'm sure I can work it in somehow. Thinking about a pico-itx or Artigo system hooked up to it for a dual PC install, and having it run its own "stuff", whatever stuff that may be...maybe OBDII stuff.

Thoughts?

Thoughts...... you just fount a very small TTL converter. Thats more awesome than a 3.5" screen.

pretty cool, would be good for digital dash type stuff with gages or status displays of some sort. They actually have some decently priced panels there.

I also thought about the digital dash stuff...sounds great.

I should contact them to ask if they sell to France...

I wonder if these are truly "aircraft grade" panels. Isn't there a certification process or something for that kind of thing?

Also, glare would be a big deal in aircraft. Are these panels glare friendly?

Isn't that shop mainly aimed at "geeks" who build replica flightsims and not actual usage in planes ??

AvionicsLcd is a supplier of Lcd's for helicopter,airplane manufacturers, and professional flight simulators. And they also supply for the US government and Nasa.

They only use Grade A New panels and won't sell to just anybody.

And they modify their panels for increased brightness for sunlight viewing.

They are the real deal.

Well, I put the request in for one of the 3.5" panels, waiting on a confirmation.

Also looked at some of the other panels that they offer...

I feel a whole lot better knowing the panel I currently have for my install is good enough for a jumbo jet now!
