* USB touchscreen totaly hot pluggable and turn - offable. Touchscreen is powered by USB, not 12 volt input, so T/S works even if screen is off. USB can be unplugged / plugged live without any nag screens etc.

* Touchscreen is sensitive when used with fingernail, not so good with flat finger. Software is easy to install and set up, and does stuff like control how touchscreen works with 2 screens.

* Video is better extended with non-choked (the big lump just before the connector) cables. Choked "high quality" cables tend to make it ghost badly. 5 meter USB cable plus 3 times 1.5 metre cheapo VGA cables chained together works fine, and extends all cables including power to about 5 meters, video cables (RCA) to about 3 metres.

* solid feeling enclosure with nice texture. Single screw in bottom to secure to mounting, or snap-in 'headrest' surround. Hitachi innards.

* Screen doesn't auto turn on with power, goes blue with no VGA signal.
