10.4" Lilliput?

icerain · 02-08-2004, 02:34 PM

I'm new to this whole carputer thing and am in the process of building a custom console for my 97 s10 blazer. Is there a such thing as a 10.4" Lilliput screen and also does anyone know where I can find a 10.4" touchscreen that isnt over $300?
Any help is appreciated...and here is the url to my console and what I have done so far

you can get the Datalux touchscreen for ~$200 (used)
ex. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=32826

its not the best choice for car use (brightness is not high enough, I hope you know what i mean: low brightness+sun=poor readable image) but looking as a whole thats a good deal.

Ok so I guess I have to pay a little more...I was looking at this site for regular LCD's not the touchscreens http://www.apollodisplays.com/ . Could someone tell me what exactly I need to purchase with this. I was looking at getting the 10.4" active TFT with 350 nits (T-51410D104-FW-P-AG). What else besides the tft do I need to purchase?
Thanks for your help...if you could explain what I need with this monitor and what it does I would really appreciate it.

If you are not looking into high-bright lcd, datalux would be a good solution for you. Im not saying that you ShoulD buy it, but research more to find out the specifications of it.
The one on eBay is a better model than i used to have (screen was 150nits, really bad with the direct sunlight). http://www.datalux.com/monitors/lmv10.asp claim to be a 500nits?? (before or after touch screen layer was assembled??), resolution? (640x480??)
Its up to you which will you buy...use search...many ppl here had experience with Datalux lcds, you can ask them. And remember this one is already with controller and touchscreen ready to use.

Ok that looks like it might be a good solution...do you know if you can take the screen out of the caseing it comes in? I dont know if it will fit in my console with that case around the screen.
Thanks
