Hi Guys - pretty new to car pc stuff,

Found this montior which looks pretty cool

It Is touch screen
VGA
Brightness is 400 nits (means nothing to me)
Looks pretty cool
Good resolution

Any thoughts or would I be better spending money on Xenarc.

Also Can you buy such a thing that goes over a normal screen to make it touch screen ?

That looks like a sweet deal. $260 for an 8" bright touchscreen is a good deal. most 7" touchscreens are $300. When I have enough I'm gonna get me one of these. :-)

I don't know anything about the brand - they may be super-cheap. Who knows?

Nits is a measure of brightness:

"Candela per meter square - used as a measurement of screen brightness for displays."

400 is good. Putting a touchscreen on it reduces it by about 150 nits. You need good brightnesss in order to see the screen in the daylight/sunlight.
