Update on Owning A Linitx

Well since my last posting I have been using and abusing my LinItx for over a year and thought it worth updating on my experiences.

Touchscreen
This has been a dream, I have had only 2 ocassions when it stopped working but a reboot of the pc fixed this, given this it is most proberbly a software or PC fault not the actual screen.
Never had to recalibrate the screen since I first had it and did the calibration, never missed a beat even given the very hot summer and very cold winter days, unlike my old Lilliput that seemed to change with the weather and touch screen that had a mind of its own.

Picture
Has been great, despite my early reservations about brightness, it is just as bright as the Lilli I had before but much more clear and sharp. The actual picture has been rock solid and never given any kind of problem in either VGA or video modes.

General
I take out the display most days and have had no problem with the connectors, I understand the new ones have an even better one connector design.
The screen has been a VAST improvement on my old 7" Lilliput, the casing still looks like new despite it being removed every day, the rubbery coating seems to have taken all the knocks.

Problems
Well their are not many to mention, one problem I did have was that in the hot weather the rubbery strip that goes around the screen just inside the case seems to have melted or the glue has and the strip slipped on to the edge of the screen, this was easily removed and seems to have been caused by the heat.

On one very cold weekend I had left the screen in the car and it refused to switch on, once warmed up and the power was removed and re aplied it worked fine. Since then we have had MUCH colder weather and it has been fine, so just a minor problem and may have been caused by the sudden heating of the car causing condesation in the screen.

Other than that its been a dream and I would recommend them to anyone, the newer model they now sell also has a few new refinements.

Hope this is of some help
