in-dash motorized screen

**spdyscotty** · 08-01-2005, 11:40 AM

I am having trouble finding the right screen. I don't need a TV tuner or radio or amp, just a touch screen. It would be best if it came out farther than the new lilliput which doesn't fit b/c my stereo area is recessed. I was looking at the Xenarc from Xenarc Direct. I want the highest quality only. Any ideas?

have you looked at any of the screens from digitalWW?

Yes, are these really good quality? I was also just looking at the MP3car one for $549, looks pretty good.

thats probably what i'm going to get. I haven't heard any bad thoughts of it, so it means it has to be good. If it's not, we would have known by now

cheers

What about the Xenarc one though? I thought Xenarc was the highest quality, and considering it is the same price????

Xenarc is good, but it doesn't have a motor.

I'm looking for the same thing you are - no TV, no radio, no amp. I have other devices that will take care of those.

I guess the mp3car monitor is the way to go then?

Does anyone know how the picture quality will compare to Xenarc/Lilliput? I am particulary concerned with reflectiveness and brightness during the day.

[Edit] GOOD catch by the way! I def want motorized! Thanks.

I have the MP3Car one ($549). I have not tried it yet in sunlight (still in my house, while I get everything loaded on the computer, etc.), but the screen looks nice. One thing I have not gotten working (yet) is 800x480 resolution, however. I am using Linux, and I tried the via unichrome drivers (I have the Epia M10000), but the monitor would never sync to any of the dot clocks I used (screen would try a few times, but it would remain black ultimately, or it would revert to 640x480 or even a much higher res). I hope there's a solution eventually, even though 800x600 looks decent (wrong aspect, which bugs me a little). Using Fedora Core 4, I got the touch screen working by simply building the "evtouch" driver (no need to install the Egalax drivers, for which there is no FC4 version yet anyway).

I hope to have the unit mounted in my car sometime in the next week or so! I've got MP3s playing and wireless (USB) working, so things are looking good!

Lava-

Thank you for the info. I'm happy to hear that you have had a positive experiance with this monitor.

Can anyone confirm that they got it to work at 800x480, or speak for performance in daylight?

How would the mp3car model ($549) compare to the DWW-700M? (Also sold by mp3car.). I know the DWW-700M has a TV tuner which is a nice bonus, but how would the quality compare?
