Does anyone know if maybe there are screens comparable in quality (XGA) and pricing, but then in 4:3?

tnx

Also, (hope i'm not starting to annoy you) do you know if the reviewed 7" screen is flipable in X and/or Y direction? On the Lilliput site that is mentioned often with almost every screen they sell, except for this one (maybe they just forgot?)...

This is important for me because i'm planning to use it on my camera which records upside-down, leftside-right image, bacause of an adapter I built.

Tnx again...

I wish the review would have mentioned the width/height of the unit. I would LOVE to mod this thing, but don't know if it will fit in the front of my case. Seven inch diagonal unfortunately doesn't help here. Anyone know the answer? Confused

Umm, I may be able to help... Grin

the whole display (with housing) is 7.5"w x 5"h and the screen alone is 6"w x 3 5/8" h.

Crud!!! Won't fit in the case I was thinking of modding... Anyone know of a full tower case this thing would fit in??? Unfortunately, most case reviews don't give dimensions of the case... grrrrr... Bang Head

P.S. Thank you for answering my question so quickly... I'm determined to make this work somehow, but seriously want a full tower case.

By the way, for some stupid reason, my avatar isn't working...

There we go, sorry... nevermind, I fixed it! Smile

I was digging in my closet and found an old server case that was given to me long ago. An old Compaq server. Next payday, I'm gonna buy this little LCD and attempt my first mod with it being the center of attraction. Hmmmm... Now all I need is a theme and a little artistic talent ( I really have neither ).

The review is nice, but it lacks one important observation for the intended audience. Namely:

How does it perform in a car environment? How well does one see the screen in the car when it is dark, when it is bright outside? Is it visible at all under direct sunlight?

Does it have some auto adjustments for dark/bright outside conditions?

Anybody have any observations on this?

Hi, welcome...

I am just now figuring out how to get the whole pc well mounted in the car...

Dark environment is not a problem at all... the screen is bright and easy to see, and the buttons are all illuminated for easy navigation.

Bright condtions are a different story... But not exclusive to the Lilliput. The details on the screen can be near impossible to read in certain conditions, but I experience the same conditions with my in dash stereo, and even my digital instruments on the bashboard. Not much you can do there, but try to position it in your line of site, but away from sun light. For use in the front seat, I don't know what screen would be much better at this...

There is no auto-adjustment, but you can easily adjust brightest/contrast, and perhaps create your own profiles for a quick switch of your own that would require just a click or two.
