thermoptic - thanks for your hard work researching all of this. There has got to be better LCDs out there. You can buy a 22" monitor at any corner store and it's less than any lilliput or xenarc out there. I can't understand why smaller costs more, it's not like it's hard to fit all that in there...

This is interesting, is it purely film enhacements that make all the difference in the sun, or is it strictly the backlight brightness and contrast ratio on the panel ?
I see a replacement LCD backlight part number 65LHS13 in that data sheet. I wonder where the specs are on that.
There is no reason these panels are expensive other than they are produced in lower volumes. The LCD mfg's sure seem to spend a lot of development effort in the 6.5 and 8.4 range still however.
