It's been discussed repeatedly. Nobody that I know of is using one. If you're willing to buy the cheapest motorized in-dash touchscreen out there from an EBay reseller, making return/exchange diffuclt (if not impossible), then go for it.

Let's not even discuss the horribly out-of-scale graphic:

no, the screen is 7", the hand is just extremley tiny (probably the hands of one of the carputer elves that built it)

Or it's just a horrible photoshop job.

I am REALLY considering getting one of these.

My resoning for getting in dash is 1) getting a screen in the dash intimidates me and would be costly since theres no way i can do it. 2) having the screen vertical seems no good, id rather some tilt to see the thing.

Theres no way id spend $500 on a screen so this seems like my ONLY choice.

Anyone want to give me a reason why i should not get this monitor?

It's a steep investment to be certain.
When I'm ready to get my screen, I'm getting mine from here to get the NDP Guarantee. That in and of itself is worth the extra green I'm laying out.

Nobody knows anything about this model, it's reliability, the mechanisms.
Considering this model is cheaper than anything comparable, it's got to make you wonder why.
If these doubts that form in my mind (and others' minds) aren't a concern to you, then go for it.

Well, it seems like a good deal. 400 listed for the brightness, VGA input, and much more. It's not motorized, and it's pretty ugly, but other than that seems like an ok deal. $300, does seem kind of steep for an indash though these days.

DigitalWW is offering it on their website

i have never had a car pc but it seems to me like the left-right swivel is essential... is this a bad assumption? apparently it isnt because ive seen plenty of installs with the lcd in dash but how do people feel about having no swivel?
