The dash ones aren't good for computers. Blurry text.

Although its been answered many, many time before......

Standard LCD's accept a composite signal and are designed for video only. Just like plugging your PC through TV-Out into your TV will give you a soft, vaguely readable picture...the LCD will be the same.

This is fine if you are using a program with sensibly sized text, and are watching videos/playing mp3s/using visualisations. However, if you want to use GPS on your machine you will probably not be satisfied or worse, you'll read the map wrong and end up in a cactus.

That said, its about what you are willing to sacrifice and put up with...

They took the words right out of my mouth... I can only confirm.

Look at www.digitalww.com

May not be in stock, but it is a VGA indash.

It is what I have.
