Hey Steve, I bought the same 10.4" monitor you did, but for me it's unusable due to the narrow viewing angles. In order for it to look right you almost have to look up at it or else have the top angled back. In my Trans Am the screen is positioned straight up and down and is about gear shift level so I am looking slightly down at it. From this angle it looks really bad. I'm going to have to send it back and find another screen to use.

BTW, anything other than it's native 800x600 resolution looked really bad also. How is it yours looked good?
I see your car has the top of the screen angled back, so maybe that's why your viewing angles are OK.
This screens View Angle is U/D 75 L/R 100 Degrees

While the one in the post above has an even narrower View Angle U/D 85 L/R 85 Degrees.

Does anyone know of a truly wide angle 10.4"?
Considering that I have to have a LCD with a narrow frame around it and it needs to be 800x600 I think I can officially say I'm screwed.
