Keyboard error. It is 1800 nits. Still it will blind you in a nav station
at full power. It came off a CNC milling center so it is oil and water
resistant and dims way down. The original intent was to use it at the helm
but it is to D#$!ed big. Wish I could trade it for a 12" with the same
brightness.

It is strange though that you can hardly find an LCD display these days
that uses a wall wart. At one time they were all 12V. I just happened
to luck up on a surplus 17" industrial 2800 nit touch screen that runs on
12V. I have squirreled it away to use on Rutu.

2800 NITs? You could use that for a spot light! And maybe even welding.

I think the one the OP asked about was 500 NIT in the specs, which is
about right for daylight display with sunlight direct on the screen.

I wish they would make it against the law to sell any thing with a display
without including information like NIT and Contrast Ratio in the specs.
Everyone advertises ambiguous stuff like Brite, Hi-Brite, Ultra-bright,
etc., but until you get it and use it, you never know what you are going
to get.
