Best Screen for PS2 & GPS
I have a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer and I am looking to add an LCD screen to put somewhere in the front area of the car (not the backseat). I do not want to spend more than $250 for the screen & housing. I plan on using the screen mainly for PS2 use and GPS. I have a Carputer that I am building now. It will be using a Geforce 4 Ti4200 with s-video and vga out (Is the Radeon a lot better for car use)? Is there a best unit w/housing under/around $250 that can do both? Please advise. You can post links to other threads that discuss this, too. Thanks!

gps and ps2 are two completely contradicting uses for a screen. decide which one you want more, and spend accordingly.

Really? There's no screen that can do both via s-video? Well, if I have to choose. I choose PS2. Which screen is better for that?

The Lilliput screen has VGA in(for PC) and Composite in for set top type components, you can connect the PS2 to the screen this way and do a source switch when you go between the two, a Lilliput can be found for around 250 if you hunt on ebay or get on a group buy.

Thanks for the info. How does PS2 look on this screen? Does it retain all its colors?

Does anyone know how PS2/TV sources look on this screen?
Also, if I didn't need the touchscreen is there a model that has similar picture quality & resolution that is less expensive?
Thanks!

TV/Video on lilliput is very nice. just keep in mind that it's a 16:9 widescreen, so some games may look wierd. but honestly at 7" it isn't terribly distracting.
btw, if you don't need the touchscreen, you can find this screen for cheaper.

Best Screen for Windows & GPS (Touchscreen)
Its time to bring back this thread... What is the best touchscreen out now for cars? I am looking for something that can run my PC which runs windows and GPS and that is touchscreen. I'm looking for under $500. The cheaper, the better, though. What's out there?

500 can get you a lot of different choices...
most likely motorized in-dash screen..but that means more parts could break
