Lilliput picture quality...

**mike6789** · 08-14-2006, 08:09 PM

So I just got a brand new lilliput and the picture quality sucks, it is really grainy with multiple grain color... I can still read text and stuff, but what is with this grain? Is this normal???

Thanks

Check your ribbon cable. Also, are you using the VGA, or composite input? What model? You buy new or used?

new, i checked all the cables, they seem to be fine

edit: its the 2005 model, one on this site, and im using VGA, but that doesnt matter because even the on screen display text has grain :|

resolution?

I have an Ex-Audio which I think uses the same screen and all, and it looks fine. Might be faulty.

By cables do you mean inside or outside the casing? It could be a loose ribbon cable inside. Been known to ship that way.

maybe this is how the screen is? if you look closely you can see fine grains... or is your picture perfect like your computer monitor right now?

ok so i looked more closely and what it looks like is as if there were a grainy FILM over the screen... but there isnt

does anyone else notice this? or is it just me, how should I fix this????

ps im powering this off of a wall adapter that came with the screen

thanks!!!!!

Nope. It shouldn't be that bad. You'll never notice it once its in the car unless you mount the screen a foot away from your face.

Your touch panel has some kind of antiglare layer/coating, the previous lilliput models did not have any antiglare treatment so they dont have that grain like effect, but this causes it to look like a mirror when the sun is out. If glare will not be an issue for you try contacting Armen from www.digitalww.com, he should be able to get you an older panel. I've owned screens with both panels and i recommend sticking with the one you have
