Tesla styled screen setup

Dude, that is awesome! I was going to say that you will most definitely have to remove the bezel off whatever screen you are using to accommodate this fixture. A custom bezel is almost inevitable with this setup

unless you find something that fits snugly.

Don't forget about the connections!

Hey thanks man! I think with the 13.3 it will fit snug without removing the bezel, but I will find that out for sure once the monitor comes in. Yeah for sure on the connections, once I know where the screen placement will be I will know where I can mount them as well!

Thought I would throw this out there for you guys on the forum. I posted this pic out on my Instagram feed to get some thoughts from people. I think I have already discussed it on here but just in case I'd love some feedback from you all on which monitor we should use (as long as size works).

Help us CHOOSE OUR MONITOR! These are the monitors we have limited it down to. Each has its own pros and cons.

Monitor #1 // is infrared so it can even be used with a gloved hand. The downside is that the monitor is very sensitive and may read things as input that are not.

Monitor #2 // has a large viewing area and native 1080p resolution but is not as bright as the other two.

Monitor #3 // is the brightest and has native 1080p resolution. But it is two inches smaller than the others.

I'd go with monitor #2. If you need any wire diagrams for anything let me know I'll try to be of help...

I may have to hit you up for that soon!

#2 has the thinnest bezel

#2 tint the windows and the brightness wont be a problem. Also you dont want it that bright at night... Actually you will want it as dim as possible so it doesnt screw with your night vision...

It definitely does except for the lower portion which is nearly 2 inches.

As far as the night is concerned I intend on using the cars light sensor or finding another aftermarket for that. The tint will play a large role in the daytime visibility for sure either way, but with direct sunlight through the windshield it may still cause a few problems.

#2 here haha!!

They trick you with #2 into thinking you have more real estate. If you look closely you have the white border and also another black inset border before you get to the active area.

Here are the dimensions from their website for screen #2 and #3.

Seems to me that number 1 is the right one to test with. We are sure of the problems in 2 and 3, but 1 is a maybe problem of false inputs.

I know it would suck to invest the money and have it not work but that's part of r&d. Maybe you could do a small kickstarter-type thing where we sponsor the final step by sending you $10-20 with the idea of getting a small discount when we buy the final product. Just throwing it out there
