Well, I finally got the spec list/order sheet from the manufacturer. Here's what I'm looking at : 1. 8.4?Sunlight readable LCD Graphic VGA card 、DVI、Y-PB-PR、Y-CB-CY、OSD Power supply unit(DC12V/3A) Enclosure and accessories Brightness : 1000nits Definition :1024x768 Operating temperature:? 20to + 60degrees I requested HD-SDI but he hasn't included it on the specs, so I'll get my Chinese partner to find out what's up with that. Hopefully it's just a clerical error. If anyone is interested, I can have it shipped from the Chinese factory for about 1500 USD, and it comes with a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer.

Julian, I looked at Swit's models before approaching a few different factories. They look good but they're meant for indoor use only, right? A full-res 1080P model would be amazing - makes me wonder where they are getting the LCD panel from because its better than anything available to all the factories I was negotiating with.

Michael, Thanks for your input. The units are custom built from China with a branded high-brightness LCD panel. Steve, They should be switchable, but we're still working out the details. Good to know that the resolution helps. I may just follow your suggestion depending on what it eventually costs. We don't have weight figures yet, but I reckon there can't be too much a difference. Do most ops have a weight ceiling?

Hey guys, If you had a choice between two high-brightness LCDs, one an 8.4" with a 1024x768 resolution (4:3) and the other a 7" with a 800x480 resolution (16:9), which one would you go with? Why? The price difference between the two isn't an issue. FYI, they both have HD-SDI, video-RCA, Svideo, and composite HD inputs. Jon
