This LCD worth group buy ?

[Elkaid]

Just found out this nice module :

Panel :
8.4" diagonal
1024 X 768 pixels (XGA)
350:1 contrast ratio
Rise time : 6ms
Fall Time : 19ms
Numer of colors : 262k (uhhhhh)

Controller :
Accepts DVI
Accepts composite

Kit includes the previous 2 parts (LCD, controller)
No need to import from Asia...

Sample price :around 515$US (yeah a bit pricey)
I'm currently negociating something for around 30-40 panels

Does that sound interesting ? Or too expensive ?

For that price I could have bought a 1000 ansi lumen 400:1 contrast ratio dlp projector 😀. A little steep for the cheap diy.

For 500 bucks I can buy a UXGA panel and go HD!

up the resolution w/ a 15" panel or less and im in.

...otherwise, definitely not worth it.
