Yep, that would be me

You can see the entire thread here.

Just to let you know, the 10.4" is a fantastic monitor. Very responsive (touch screen) and the viewing angles from the driver and passenger sides were perfect. The problem that I have with my build is that is does not look OEM (I had alot of imperfections with this 1st build) and, because it lays too flat, you get alot of glare at certain times especially when you're traveling down a street with street lights; every time you pass a light it reflects off the screen.

I just decided to redo the project and go with the 8" wide model which I purchased on Ebay here. So far, I really like this monitor and can live with the smaller screen size. I am going to start the fabrication this weekend. Oh, to give the seller a good plug, the guy sent me this overnight! Amazingly fast shipping. I ordered it around 1:00pm and it was at my home the next day by 3pm. I will certainly buy from him again.
