GL: $150 - $200 monitor

[Brent Hodges]

My ship mates are converting me to the Captain. So far I've been using my 
Furuno 10.4" radar / chartplotter. Right now I have a 15" Dell "off the 
shelf" monitor of a few years of age. As long as it's not bright sunlight, 
it's ok, but in bright sunlight it sucks even with a shield (fabricated from 
a Bud Light case). I'm just looking for something a lot brighter. I might 
not notice so much how bad it is but with the Furuno LCD monitor right next 
to it, you can see a HUGE difference!

So far I'm really impressed with the Captain. The monitoring system, not so 
much.
