Need help selecting a 7" TFT LCD for <$200?

I have found the following and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations or whether or not these are good buys... are there other places to look other than mp3store, digitalww, or audio image?

Out of all of them, I would go for the 3rd one.

All of them are low resolution (234x280), other than the 3rd one, which says it's 800x480.

However, all of them only have composite inputs. If you're wanting to show any text/GPS, then make sure you have a screen with VGA input.

so what's the least expensive product w/ VGA?

the TM-701 from DigitalWW for $245?

**prospero** · 03-29-2004, 01:24 PM

what about this one?
the Innovatek IN-720?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=48609

that's an s-vid connection i see in the pic right?

Yeah, probably the TM-701. Will be the best bet. Spend the $45 extra and thank yourself for saving yourself lots of hassle

Or look for Lilliput VGA on Ebay, you might get lucky...or you might get a lower quality one that doesn't work, and you'll have to send it back to Hong Kong. Then you'll curse why you didn't get the one from DigitalWW

The TM-701 is NOT VGA, but it is one of the best composites that
you can get.

DWW has 7" vga's for $230 I got one works great

**prospero** · 03-31-2004, 09:32 AM

ok, so it's down to this:

7" TM-702L IN-DASH TFT LCD Panel - Panasonic (800x480)
Resolution: 2400x480
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3088182883
$210

or this:

7" INNOVATEK IN-720 IN-DASH TFT XGA DIGITAL LCD (800x600)
Resolution: 800x600
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3088656384
$230

the innovatek is higher resolution plus it looks like an s-video connection, is that correct?
