15" LCD TV Monitor

**Teknoledgi** · 08-17-2005, 06:34 AM

I am moving from Car PC's to Boat PC's and need a larger monitor in the cockpit for TV and DVD + Nav, has anyone tried this http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Ex-Audio-15-S...QQcmdZViewItem from Ex-Audio, I know it is not touchscreen but an 8" mounted near helm station will accomodate that running Raymarine RNS

I would use a standard 15" LCD monitor for what you want to do. It would be cheaper too.

The problem is that I can use a splitter to provide a seperate RF signal to the different monitors from the aerial on the boat if I have a monitor with built in tuner, a normal lcd monitor won't do this.

The problem I am facing is that I am going past single PC systems - i.e. car pc's and going to multiple PC/monitor/input systems, to phrase another mp3car user

hmmmm what is this to do with our activity on these forums? (car copmuters)?

I am looking at integrating multiple monitors over several sources of information. Any help would be useful

You could get a 15" LCD TV with Coaxil, RGB/S-video and VGA input. I am using one and it also has Picture in Picture. So you can actually watch two inputs (VGA/TV) on same screen.

PM me if you need more info

If there is room, go with bigger screen.
There are some nice 15" screen that has multiple inputs (DVI, VGA, S-Video, Video, Coaxil/TV) Multiple inputs comes with a price, but it is still cheaper, better quality and best bang for your buck compare to the over price 7" monitor in the car.

94prizm, is that 12v or 110/240?

It runs from adapator 120/240V in and output is 12V to LCD TV.

Nice, eh?

I have something similar. Got it at BestBuy a couple of years ago.. It's a MAG M572TVS. It's a 15" LCD monitor with VGA/DVI/Composite/SVid/CATV. As said, it'll run off 120v with the supplied adapter, though the adapter puts out 12v.

Really bright screen too..not a touchscreen, though. And it's thin. I had it mounted to my wall for a while.
