I drive a convertible so direct full on sunlight sucks, Can't see a damn thing, so drive towards the sun. lol. Other than that, it not too bad. As you can see from my skin, the white buttons, they still make their way through, so you can still control things. Also, your hand going over it to touch the screen casting the slight shadow over it helps in the worst of situations. Not ready to fork out the $600 (for just the 7") for a transflective upgrade though... sheeeett.. lol

Native resolution is 800x600 but it works perfectly with 1024x768, though I do run it at the native res.

I did need to extend the cable from the monitor. I'm using 6' usb and vga extensions. Works great. No flickers or any other problems whatsoever. Powered off of a M2ATX. Comes on automatically with the car. The factory codes mentioned in the threads here also work for this monitor. ;-)

So there you have it. A HUGE screen at a decent price and works great. ;-)
