From what i have read the lilli is still like 40 units brighter than the ultrabright xenarc. thats why i went with lilli. anyway if you buy the screen from wifibuys, you will at least have some guaranty that it will work.

RE: wifibuys, 39.00 to ship? and they are in the US?
and, lets say for ****s and giggles, that 2 months down the road a Lilli from them takes a ****.
you return it at your cost, say 10.00. They receive it, say ya, it's dead. But, we don't have a replacement available. So now they will refund you less original bs shipping, less their 35.75 "admin" fee plus the retun to them ship cost. Now, 2 months after buying from this fabulous seller, you are out 85.00 and no monitor. The authorized Xen sellers ship for 12.00, warranty for 18 months, and don't seem to have any of that "admin" fee should a refund for a DOA item be necessary.
Seems like wifi is prepared to sell the **** Lilli's buy offering their "warranty", but at a big cost to the purchaser. and in the end, wifi still clears a few $$ per DOA unit. They win either way, and Joe Consumer takes it in the *** again.
Avoid the Lilli!

go for the XENARC Its the only way to go.. Honest..

I have had two lilliputs.. both now touchscreen-less cheap crap. When my xen arrived it just feels so much better, yes its defo brighter as well. The Auto on is a dream.. and I've ripped it apart yanked this and that and it still works !! what more can I say.. er.. spend $300 on a lilli that will last 3 months before **** happens or go for the Xen which will last a lifetime (hmm thinks that might be a slight over statement)

anyway.. its upto you, but after reading these posts I know i'm not alone

I am not taking anything personally. Your posts indicated you own a Lilli, yet your sig. says you are waiting for one.
Just asked a simple question.
**** Off *******!!!!!

Haven't owned a Lilliput so I can't comment on it. I have owned a Zenarc (acutually it a GAIN...same screen without the Zenarc badge). It has worked FLAWLESSLY for about 2 years. About six months ago I installed it in the in-dash housing...no problems at all. I highly recommend the Zenarc...it's the only way to go as far as I'm concerned.

Don't think calling him a little boy helps you out on the tough factor either..
Just my two cents.



You get what you pay for.. is my other two cents.
