Touchscrens in Europe...an issue

Cris · 04-23-2004, 08:53 PM

Hello everyone!Since this is my first post I'd like to thank everyone in this forum for posting their ideeas,experince & knoledge, becouse you have built the foundation to a new chapter in car a/v. I had to say that,even with the risk of being off-topic.
Ok, back to my thread: I've searched&searched (except Ebay) but I coudn't find any decent 7'' touchscreens in Europe (I'm not even mentioning the Opus 150W PSU).All I came up with is this: http://www.serdexsolutions.fi/TFT_display_newision.htm. Is it any good?Is it worth it?
Sorry about the long post. Thanks again!

Looks just like a Lilliput to me. Maybe just labeled differently for your market.

Forgot to mention: I've done my research on this forum.I know I should go with the Lilliput or Xenarc, but I just can't find neither one anywhere in Europe. I'd rather order it from Europe becouse of the customs taxes.

Thanks for your quik repply. I didn't expect an answer so soon. What do you think about the price?

JJFORTY · 04-23-2004, 09:06 PM

Cris · 04-23-2004, 09:11 PM

369 E, almost 470 $

No LCD, no Opus PSU,man,as I see it, the only way I can get this carputer done is to move in the U.S.

or at least vacation here and take back some "gifts"

Kinda like we do when we go to Mexico...but different

You might check and see if you can find all these items for a decent price elsewhere, and find out what the duty would be. Might be cheaper still than trying to locate where you are?

Nobody seems to have Opus', so its waiting list wherever you go.

Try to look up on ebay to see if anyone ship to Europe? If not try ZIPLOCK he sell them to every one on this forum maybe to you allso.

Why dont you try www.Cartft.com , it has everything you need to build yourself a Car pc and has good prices and the best online service i hever had.
It doesnt have opus ( Im buying one in the neverending Boraxp group buy ), but it has other power solutions.

And LinITX has the Opus psu's, Not exactly giving them away :0 but seems to be the only place in the world that has stock right now!

@CRIS: Have a look to http://www.cartft.com/shop/catalog

Cris · 04-24-2004, 01:29 PM

Thanks for the links! I think I'll go with the PSU from LinITX. Just making sure: Opus 150 W has it all: start up and shuttdown controler, voltage regulator. I just wire it to the car's battery? Once again just making sure. Thanks for your help!

As for the LCD the 7'' touch screen from CarTFT doesn't sound bad.I think i'll order it unless you give any other sugestions.
