If any one could tell me if i should buy a 5.6 inch high defanition LCD or a 7 inch LCD but i dont want to spend to much on a 7 inch. just wanted to know if the 5.6 inch LCD you can read the text really good using mediaengine and GPS and street directory thank you
5.6" composite you will not be able to read any text

I have the xenarc 7" and it is just big enough for me to read. I wouldn't go with anything smaller. My screen is mounted about 10" away from my face.

what about those psOne lcd there are 5 inch but it looks like that people a connecting them to there vga out put on there video cards can you still get a good read out of the text on them in that mode
5" = too small to read text period, no matter if it's vga or not
if you want GPS do it right the first time
I think it's all relative...I have a 7" screen that's an easy 2' away from my eyes & I can see/read all but the smallest text while driving.(i.e. roads in CoPilot 2003 in the map view) I can read everything fine in winamp from my backseat which is another 2'+ added to the distance. I use the double size feature and increased my playlist font to either 16 or 18, I can't remember. I do agree that you'd be pushing it with the 5" screen & I'm sure the 7" is worth the extra money esp. since you'll be trying to glance at it while driving. bigger = better = safer in most cases.
