Does anyone know of a place where i can get an open frame transreflective touch screen???

Bxsteez · 06-10-2008, 12:23 PM

I have no idea what to do. A transflective screen would be great but i can't seem to find one besides the one MP3car.com sells but thats just way too expensive.

there are companies that will make your screen transflective (can't remember which, do a search).

cartft.com has some tmr open frames but might do a custom transflective.

I've been searching all morning and still haven't found anything worth wild. The companies that will make the screen transflective cost like 250 dollars and based on that i might as well just pay the 700 something for the mp3car.com's lilliput. I saw the CTF700-HM but in comparison to a transflective screen its just a disappointment. Have you had any experience with one of these anti-glare foils?

i haven't had experience with anything except for looking at every website and getting all the info i can. this is my first diy computer project.

this is all i really have to go by:

did you see this?

Bxsteez · 06-10-2008, 01:11 PM

Yea i saw something like that. I saw this ctf400 and i figured i wouldn't be able to take it apart to get it to fit in my dash. I guess i can try and fabricate the dash to fit the entire screen. I have no idea to be honest.

i've seen a lot of ppl strip screens down sp it should be possible.

seems like cartft encourages custom stuff so you could probably start with the lowest open frame 7" ($388) and add options until you get what you really want for the same or less than the $750 mp3car wants.

Where are you seeing this $388 open frame screen? There cheapest open frame is 462 if i'm not mistaken

Bxsteez · 06-10-2008, 01:44 PM

i'm thinking it would just be easier to get tint lol... It would be cheaper too

- 19% vac. its my understanding that we dont pay that. could be wrong though.

Bxsteez · 06-10-2008, 02:21 PM

I think that amount is already subtracted from the quoted price when change it to US currency

BLACKonBLACK98 · 06-10-2008, 03:09 PM

naw... you gotta check/uncheck the box.

Bxsteez · 06-10-2008, 03:22 PM

OMG U ARE RIGHT!!!!!!! Thanks cause i know they would've let me pay that 19% lol.. I just did some research and apparently i have two screens i'm debating on. The Xenarc 702TSV which isn't transflective but its SUPER bright and there is the the LinITX 7" Transflective. These are both nice looking

I didn't find any pictures of the Xenarc screen but shoot its 1000nit so its gotta be bright

BLACKonBLACK98 · 06-10-2008, 03:34 PM

yeah. my (general) question is what do you really need? without having any actual experience its just a bunch of numbers. since i won't be driving my car too much (show car) i'm not really looking to go all out and will get either the phylon or cartft open frames.

Bxsteez · 06-10-2008, 03:42 PM

I will actually be driving my car everyday so i will need to be able to see it in sunlight. I do intend on tinting my car but from what i've read it doesn't fix this problem so i figure tint with one of these transflective screens has to make it look really nice
