lilliput versus other brand help needed

Holden__V8 · 02-01-2005, 04:42 AM

Hey guys dont know much about lcd screens only the basics. Have looked and searched over the forums for lcd info etc. I had a pioneer screen in my car before hand but removed it now i want a basic cheap setup again for my x box and maybe back to the car pc scene again also.

I am looking at the 2 folowing screens
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....prebrand=false
This one is a liliput which i know is one of the beter ones of the cheaper brands cause i know a lot of guys on here use them. This one will come to about $260 australian dollars. Also can get tv tuner model for about $15 bux more i think.

Next up is this other brand called a Hami (never heard of them before)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...160941504&rd=1
This one has vga input which i know will be beter for the pc side of things (how much beter is it really)
This will come to about $250 aus dollars im just a bit scared about purchashing from overseas dont wanna get stung with no customs fees or anything like that?

Is there much difrence between the 2 if so which one would you pick?
and why?
any help will be apreciated thanks guys

1) That link is to a 16:9 screen. Make up your mind.
2) XBox can do wide-screen format. Read your XBox manual.
3) With the right video card, you can set up Windows to use 840x480, the resolution of that screen so it would look just fine.

1 and 2 i already knew i just find xbox looks a little funny running in 16:9 mode
3 i never thought of but that is a good idea not fussed by the pc running in a resolution like that
