I'm either getting a 8" or 10" touchscreen. What do you recommend, 4:3 or 16:9?
i think a few people on here have been looking for 8" 16:9, without any luck.
but its definitely cool to have.
here's one

but why would you do the 16:9?
cool, i never knew!
The last mac front end I used - AMP - was 16:9 formatted. You could use it 4:3 but it didn't scale to it, you just chopped off part of the display.
16:9 is also better if you plan on watching any widescreen video on your carputer. I run 4:3 and have to deal w/ the black bars top and bottom.
I will agree with jr4284; especially for entertaining with widescreen movies, the 16:9 is definitely the way to go.
Otherwise, since 4:3 is more common, I use this monitor. Garmin Mobile PC works well with it...
Just another thought too:
Check your double-din opening size. I'm a big stickler for "it has to look OEM." I'm more concerned that the display I pick fits correctly than the aspect ratio.
