Looks like it'll be interesting

Looking nice. Getting a lot more mainstream.

DVI?

What monitors for in-car use use DVI right now?

It might be much more common soon, but you can probably use an adapter like those ones that come with NVidia cards. I have about 5 of them in a drawer. lol

The DVI connector is a DVI-I (see the group of 4 pins in a square?), therefore you can use a DVI to VGA converter as another poster as stated.

I would be interested in this but as with all shuttle products, its not going to be cheap. Look at their M1000.

Looks pretty cool to me.

Nice.. but im sure as all the current ones it will be WAY overpriced.

It's interesting that they're using a DVI video out port. I don't know of any mobile monitors that support DVI. Sure, you can always use a DVI-VGA adapter, but I'm wondering what the Shuttle engineers were thinking.

I'm going to merge these two threads as they are about the same thing:

Anyone know which OS this runs? Can it run Mac OS X? After all, it looks like a hardened Mini.

I've used these in a couple of cars and they're very good, they use 12v and have DVI.

Did anyone find a price?? I like how they make the auto-shutdown feature a big deal! LOL ...
That's marketing for you....

They were probably thinking something like 'make it appeal to as many potential customers as possible'. It's much easier to go DVI->VGA than it is to go VGA->DVI. I agree it is odd/interesting to see it as the default output, but within a year it might not seem so strange.

All-in-all it's a good thing to see shuttle taking the game seriously, and hopefully more companies will too. More competition = price wars = we all benefit.

I agree. I use a Shuttle in my truck now and I absolutely love it.

And I'd think DVI would be a better option for people making blinged-out show cars, and want to output the PC to a hi-def TV.

If only it had an NVidia GPU for in-car gaming. I'm just happy to see a design with a newer/faster CPU and some notebook technology for lower power consumption and hopefully notebook SATA without having to hack up a notebook. It would be great if they put a laptop battery in it. They don't really give a lot of details about how it shuts down.

MobiTekLink · 03-19-2007, 12:41 PM

I agree,,, it is a lot easier to do DVI-VGA than the opposite, the DVI monitors that Ive used are a lot brighter and crisper than the VGA ones... I've compared them side to side.
Good deal all around.
