I have 7" TFT but picture is not sharp?
Okay, i have Via Epia 533 computer and 7" TFT monitor in car.
Monitor picture is not very sharp. Via Epia setting program is not
good, i cannot get more sharp. Anybody know good program to
adjust tft monitors settings?
edit: When computer starting all text is very sharp and can read
very far (BIOS POST). But when windows is running picture is not
sharp. Font change give little help, but not enough....

could be that you are running at the wrong resolution, is the monitor vga? if not then it's going to be fuzzy anyway, but you could try either 800x600 or 640x480

Try unplugging and reconnecting the round plug for the SVGA connector (if you have the Lilliput) - the connector is poorly designed and if it is not tight it will look fuzzy. Also make sure that the VGA connector itself is tight. I had this same problem briefly during installation of the screen, a quick tightening of the connector solved it. The POST text looked clear even with the screen looking fuzzy in windows, I think it is because it is low res to begin with.

There's your problem. RCA out is TV resolution. There's no way you can make the image crisp. They will always be fuzzy cause those screen are around 320 resolution, interlace to 640. I don't know if XP will go that low, but if you want to improve your image a little bit, lower your resolution to 640 and below. Anything higher will be fuzzy image.
The reason why text is readable during bootup is probably the is booting with low resolution.
This is the price you pay for cheaper non VGA monitor.

Sorry Tomi,
with the RCA out you don't get the VGA[FONT=Arial Black]
resolution. Use that monitor for the back passengers movies.
For yourself get a Lilliput....

no, you have to use "Via Epia VGA out". You need a VGA screen. With your current screen you will never have clear picture. You can try S-Video though, might have better results than RCA...

Why is it that everyone does not like anything that is not VGA? My non VGA screen looks just fine with regular RCA out. Its not 7" but its readable. I can perform all of the functions that most people here use, including GPS.

S-Video will not be noticeably better than RCA. They will both be blurry. Sell the monitor you have now and buy one that has VGA input on it.

VGA as in the port that you plugs your Home computer monitor Into. Just to not be anymore confusing. Not the Digital LCD you have at home if you have a flat screen LCD. But those regular big fat heavy CRT monitors. That this the plug that gives best result.
