For PJ panels I'd say look elsewhere..

i thought that second one was good?! since no one has tried it im still skeptical, it may not me good for pc gaming but it would be good for movies -IMHO-
theres also another monitor liek this which goes up to uxga...but i lost the link

If memory serves me the second one is only available with 2 or 4 megs of ram on the controller. Mine only has 8 and seems to do DVD's quite well. Less than that I really couldn't say. I spoke to a guy on ebay that was selling the guts from these, if he's not BSing they are a sharp panel native is 800x600 @ 512 colours in "virtual mode" they push to 1024x768 @16bit. I have the spec sheet for the sharp panels he was selling...his brother was selling the controllers.

4mb video card should be sufficient to drive DVD movies..
no prob!

I have a IBM thinkpad with 4mb and DVD drive.. not
a problem.. even with only a 300mhx pentium II doing
the decompression... even divx movies...

I dunno about 2mb tho...

Goods news 🙂 if 4 megs will do the job the unisys comes off my turkey list because thats what the monitor ships with..4 meg. I hope to be able to give a better review shortly...I want one for a "carputer" I'm building 😉

Yes I'm one of their newest members 😉. It seems as though they have as many fanatics as we do on this forum I'm still researching my "carputer" but will have an old "radioshack" computer soon to be the first victim (very "thin" desktop..only about 3.5 inchs thick...with a TV out and many other ports now considered standard) My new car came with a Sony Xplode head unit with inputs so I just can't resist adding some "high tech".

As for the unisys monitor....if it is the LCD screen that I suspect it is..then from a "build" standpoint it is ideal for modding for projection. IE: no boards or cables in the way when the backlight is removed.

Cool. I actually found out about mp3 car becuse I was getting hits to my website from there 🙂 . Some one started a thread on projection there. I love the idea of having a computer in a car. I would throw in an 802.11 card with an antenna on the roof so i could go war driving .

Allready in the planing 😉 (802.11) I'd really like to build a "mobile" PJ but the requirements for high powered lamps would put the hurt on any invertor...let alone my puny little alternator 🙁
