does VGA mean anything to you ?

if it does then LinITX / Xenarc / Lilliputt are the ones to go for, if you just want composite in then get the Pioneer stuff - typically a TV or composite display (even Pioneer indash DVD) is only 640x480, quite poor compared to a lili / Xenarc / LinITX

VGA displays pc characters / letters etc 500 X better than a composite screen

Thats the big difference

Again, define what you need and / or want and then choose a screen from there

Yes VGA/USB touchscreen is the big difference. So you might find the Pioneer beats say the lilliput in viewable angles and brightness, but the Car PC picture display is very low resolution (almost unreadable) and complicated to control.

actualy those indash ones like pioneer, alpine, etc are only typicaly around 480x234, not 640x480, if they were 640x480 they wouldn't be quite as bad since that's VGA resolution, just wouldn't be as clear text as it would be an interlaced signal

I need a VGA screen. I just want to compare the picture quality, lets say when playing dvd movies or playing ps2. Because those VGA screens I've mentioned above are not available locally. So I just want to have a comparison.

Thanks Guys!

SAScooby,
Im from the Philippines. I've already searched locally and had no luck. So my only option is to purchase online. Thats why I'm comaparing those VGA's from what are available here.

Need you inputs guys!=)

if you read a bit around here you will find that in general the Xenarc seems to be the best quality screen.....

again, just search and read!

well....then you are talking about the graphics card when you are talking about a Xenarc.....then it's all dependant on the graphics card....

the quality will be good, it's a small screen, it's not like exceptional quality is going to make a lick of difference in the car in the first place...since the resolution of a VGA screen is so much higher, the quality will be better on a VGA screen....but only if your graphics card can back it up.....
