Denis,

You may want to check into the Dynon system.  I'm extremely happy with mine, especially with their new update.  hardware cost less the $14k for a complete dual 10 inch screen system.  Add another $1k for their new soon to be released ADSB and weather reporting module.

Subject: [LML] OP Technology Displays

I'm inquiring as to who is operating OP Technology displays that might be able to provide some insight into how they operate and issues they are having.  Would be very interested in speaking with any owners.  

We are about to put them back into our panel after 3.5 years of rebuild time on a Lancair IVPT.  I've heard that the displays with the LCF are over taxing the power supply and eventually reboot or shut down.  Not good.

Since these displays are out of production and are not really being supported, I'm trying to ascertain if I'm chasing a lost cause in trying to get the company to do a retrofit which they have designed which will put in much brighter and less power consuming LED lighting, but could cost us $3-5K to have done and there is no continuing software updates from my understanding.

This may still be cheaper than new displays, but I'm really disappointed that the acquiring company (Aerosonic) appears to be wringing their hands in terms of standing by this product which were over $20K per unit.

Any help/thoughts appreciated.
