I dont want to spend another $350 for the same problems. Also I will be molding this monitor also.

Your described problems are not common for the older 4-wire 700TSV. It is hard for us to tell without getting some more info on them (e.g. serial number, manufacturing date) and/or looking at them. It also could be anything from the way you mold the monitor to the age of the monitor. As you know, we have discontinued the 4-wire model for many years. The 5-wire 700TSV are years ahead of the 4-wire. We even revised the 5-wire 700TSV multiple times since it's introduction. The casings might look similar, but are actually completely retooled with various improvement including the material used. In addition, 5-wire is a superior technology to 4-wire. It last longer and is more responsive to the touch. Why don't you purchase and test a 5-wire unit before you take it apart and return it if you are not satisfied with it?

I will buy the new 5-wire one soon, kinda just waiting for this one to die... lol. The one I have is all black one not the silver 4 wire one. I will check my box for the # in a few days.thanks

xenarctech Are you saying that the brightness setting is suppose to remain at it last setting when the unit is turned off? Every since I've had my 700TSV it has been the main complaint I have had with the unit, (the other being the resolution numbers and the input 2 stuff that pops up on the screen). I turn off the monitor to get gas, or run into a store and everytime I get back in the card the brightness has to be reset. This is hard because the unit is built into the dash and I have to try to locate just the right spot to use the remote to change it back. Why not just have options on the menu for saving the brighness and another option to display or not all the other garbage that pops up on the screen. I added a usb capture card so that I could use the backup camera without the "Input 2" or what it was that was always on the screen when I had the camera hooked up to 2nd input. It takes away from the professional look of the system with all that OSD clutter. Anyway i would like to update my xenarc to the higher brightness unit, if I can get the brightness to work properly.

So do you use the newer 5 wire t/s 700tsv monitor? I have the older 4 wire one, but have the same problem with the brightness reset when the car is turn off.

thanks for the input
