Thread: "Transflective" LCD panel with res touch+controler for $101+$36 S+H

Thanks for the update. I am just eager to get this installed.

I just thought you had all the materials to check. I will order them myself and see.

Just to consolidate information

Here is the 8" versions of the cables

I just ordered the 8" version cables and connectors since I wanted to make sure I had enough cable length

I have ordered mine yesterday. Derrick is cool guy. I am looking to swap the resistive touch screen with the capacitive one when I finish the project. I hate the cataract effect of resistive screens.

Agree, resistive panels do not offer better color performance than capacitive panel.

I think there is some misunderstanding. What I mentioned "better color", did not mean compare to capacitive. It means the Samsung Screen itself, which is one of the best color 7" screen on the market, except those AMOLED screen. Other Taiwan made screens can`t compare at all. That is why we never use them.

For keeping the price low, we stays with the stock resisitve panel, it lows the color a little bit, but still acceptable

True, the capacitive panel is glossy, but in most applications, the added glare is not as bad as some think, and the added benefits of the cap. panel out weigh the gloss issue.

Resistive panels do not offer better performance.

Don`t forget this monitor is also designed for VIDEO CAM or Camera use. sometimes in dark place, we still need to do some adjustment or switch channel

DELL way is a very good idea. I had that monitor before and really love this OSD setting. We will consider that function in the future generation. Thanks for advice, man!

Here's a neat idea from my Dell though... It shows the functions for the buttons when the OSD is displayed. Very handy if you're in the dark and the buttons are not lit (are they?).

I will discuss this with our design team, but looks like the button control module need space to fit...

yes, no powered LED in the front. It also support auto power on.

Does it have auto power on ? Also, keep the case square, it would be easier to mold in.

Even better put a standard 1/4" fixing hole in the bottom which could be used for fixing it on any kind of stand/camera arm, would be wonderful for photo or video guys

definitely, this is the function we consider. will try to add VESA mount standard to this monitor

It has a standard flash mount already which you can put on camara or video cam.

Kind of like the "knockouts" on the dash of a vehicle that manufactures use to add options to a vehicle like foglights, adjustable pedals etc.

Good idea, I will also forward this advice. thanks!

PS: now we have a wireless remote come with this monitor.

I know, I know, capacitive panel looks really nice, but it cost more

How about this, we start to sell some panels without touch panel, and you guys and add capacitive yourself? In this way, we can have some spare resistive touch panel, and save you few dollars also.

In my car, I changed my capacitive touch panel by a capacitive one (bought from tft-lcd store HERE and this is day againt night.




If you sell high end HDMI/DVI transflective screens with capacitive touch screen (USB ans multitouh capable) less than 400USD you will be very riche...

That is deal, we will sell the kit without resistive touch screen. so easier for you to add capacitive one

if you need this special kit, just let us know after your purchase. We can refund you $6 for the resistive screen.
