Sunlight readable and anti-glare LCD screens coming soon to the Mp3Car Store

Here's a crude demo before and after of one of the open frame LCDs installed in my car. http://www.mp3car.com/video/transflective_demo.wmv

Pricing and availability to be announced soon.

that looks really good, is this an upgrade to an existing lcd, or a new lcd altogether?

Will this fit my Lilliput 629 front bezel? Will I need to use the back side of the housing at all?

Wow that's awesome I want one! I hope its not a whole new screen and something that fits over/on top of an old one - and if so, I hope it'll work with the 8" xenarc... Am I asking for too much? :P

Thanks for the vid Zip-lock. It really shows the benifits. I too am looking forward to when these screens are available.

@ Alti and Rowan, I believe that you have to purchase a new screen with the upgrade already fitted. The company that is doing them doesn't want to go into individually modifying each screen due to different manufacturers and sizes of all the LCD panels that are out there.
