Is Xenarc $200 betther than Lilliput???

cpjolicoeur · 04-08-2004, 12:47 PM

I don't want to start a Holy War (or flame war for that matter), but before I plunge and buy my Xenarc 700TSV, I am wondering if the Xenarc models are truly $200+ better than the Lilliput models?

I have read all the posts (ALL of them) and I know all the complaints/problems with the Lilliputs. I also dont seem to find so many complaints with the Xenarcs. But are the Xenarc screens worth that much more.

I really only want replies from those who have had/used/tested both types of screens as they are the only ones who can make an honest comparison. Of course, all comments from others are welcome as your input is appreciated, but I am sure most of those sentiments have been stated (many times) before.

P.S. Everyone that is now buying Lilliput's, where are you getting them from. Who has the best prices? I haven't looked into Lilliput sellers, only Xenarc. So some help would be appreciated.

Had my lilliput for over a month, not a single complaint. Arrived promptly, perfect packaging, perfect screen. No ghosts etc, new screens are top notch.

Go get lilliput!! I have both, lilliput is brighter which I like. It really depends, both have pro and con. IMO lilliput is good for me

I have no complains too. Works great. I remember times when first Xenarcs were shipping there was so many complains about them...

My Lilliput works great as well. I recieved mine just about a week after I ordered it.

No cracks, scratches, or non working parts. Great buy.

You wont find but a couple people that have had both. It is really a luck of the dice thing, both of these screens are made in pretty small numbers in the big picture, so the quality of both tends to be "iffy". my recommendation, take a chance with either one, but be sure to buy from someone like Armen that will take care of you when you have a concern.

To buy lilliput LCD, I recommend cartft.com. I got it at promotion price which is cheaper than ebay. They ship from overseas but only 3 day to get to my place Michigan, USA.

I just came from cartft.com and their prices were ridiculous (or to me at least). How did you get down with the promotion price?

Now thats an understatement.

I have a Xenarc, and am looking at buying a Lilliput.

I am happy with my Xenarc, IMHO it would be nice to have a remote.

I glassed my LCD into my dash, and now all the buttons are covered so I need to come up with some way to control it.

Who was this seller we should avoid?

There are two on eBay that claim to be from the US.

I saw where someone tried to say to watch were you got your lilliput from. That were you got it from made a difference in the quality of the screen.

I have no idea on why where you got one from would make a difference in quality. Could someone please explain how that makes a difference since they all come from the same factory.
