I've seen the LCD industry make claims of the brightness of their displays two ways.. Sunlight (daylight) readable, and direct sunlight readable.Originally posted by Virus-VX
400 still not be enough. It should has at least 1200 - 1500 Nit.
Just an example of fully sunlight readable and nighttime dimmable monitors ->
PS: Look at their price! ;eekr;
Yes, and also make sure that LCD module is a real TFT Active Matrix but not an STN one like almost most of them on the eBay. :madr2:
anyhoo, what i said was sunlight (daylight) readable, which starts at around 480-500 nits as i remember reading in a whitepaper somewhere. This would be a display recieving simply ambient light from being in around an outside type enviroment during normal daytime. Direct sunlight readable, as you said, is up there in the 1000cd/m2 range. This is when sunlight is spilling on to the module itself.
But like i said, 400 nits gets kinda close but isn't exact. But is sufficient enough for a car interior 85% of the time.
Having a direct sunlight readable display isn't only dependant on the luminosity of the backlight and films - it also requires extremely high contrast.
Their prices get insane - but there is a 3rd party backlight company that will install brighter backlights and films on your module (mainly they only do sharp modules) for considerably less money then those displays in that link are goin' for.
And Virus is right, better watch those STN's!
what color VX you drive Virus? do you have a system installed in your VX?
