I have the spec sheet but don't know how to post them here..they are PDF.
Apparently they connect using a standard 15 pin connector.
anyone have any info, ideas or suggestions about these monitors(used as mfd in FO?
Damn this pit bug is persistant!!:evils:
Thanks,

The dimentions shown are the outer frame, not the viewable area, so that might be an issue. I'd shoot for around a 6.5" car lcd type of panel. The 640x480 res is good on the tube, but I think in MFD viewable area is roughly 100mmx100mm screen so that tube is going to come up short on the height. There are a few thread in viperpit.org on sizing screens for the MFDs. Might check to see the solutions they used.
