Title: What's the best screen for EICAS displays?
Post by: stephenbalmer on March 05, 2015, 02:27:11 PM
Hi guys,

I've had a good search around here and other forums for an answer to this one and my main observation is that there are no up to date recommendations on the current best 10.4 inch screens.

What are you using and what would you recommend?

Thanks very much,

Stephen

Check the adafruit website, they have some good ones and cheap.

Yeah, I had my original lower eicas that I bought from a good Chinese Company....hmmm, name escapes me now, but it threw the towel in, so I bought my second one from adafruit, but it was only a 9 inch screen.
I know that a 10 inch screen is hard to come by, but I've since found one on alibaba, too.

Here's the url:

For 50 bucks, how could you go wrong?

This is the model I have in my lower EICAS but I didn't pay that much for shipping!
