Can anyone suggest a display that can easily be mounted in a box and mounted in a tractor cabin? The display should be a minimum of 5" in size. Touchscreen and colour are desirable, but not mandatory.
Did you do a search on ebay, or alibaba? I assume there are many that fits your few requirements.
Fir a display I expect specifications like:
* type (LED, LCD, alpanumeric, ...)
* resolution
* interface
* power supply
* periferals, (which type and interface)
* backlight..
* klimatic spec
...
Thank you for the suggestion. The "mounted in a box and mounted in a tractor cabin" and "minimum of 5" in size" where the requirements. Someone suggested SmartiPi touch and back cover from Smarticase which can house a raspberry pi and the 7" raspberry pi display. The SmartiPi touch case has 75mm VESA mounting holes allowing the attachment of different mounting hardware to mount in the tractor cabin.
Hi BradtheRad, thanks for the feedback. Fortunately my tractor cabin is enclosed and air conditioned/heated and gloves aren't worn. Sunlight shining on the display could definitely be a problem though. I might have to construct a cover to provide some shade.
LCD screens show up in good contrast in bright light. LED's (unless they're a super-bright kind) are easily outdone by glare on nearby reflective surfaces.
