I was looking for a color display, that one is monochrome.

Ah, well there's the rub ... a color CRT won't fit inside a Classic case. It is physically too long. You'll have to go LCD.

Personally, I don't mind the grayscale: http://dclausen.net/projects/tfam/

Avoid the in-car DVD type monitors They have much lower specs than computer monitors in general.

on the Color Classics as a piece of Plexiglas, curved over the LCD makes it look authentic.

Have you done this? Do you have pics, especially pics from various angles?

but in each case that rules out touch screens

Unless you use a separate touchscreen overlay kit and fix it to the Plexi

Thanks for that info about car kits, I had been looking at them. I presume I should be looking at the 9" CRT commercial equipment replacement panels, which run in the $400 range. The good news is they also take TTL, CGA & EGA inputs. ;-)

I will look for the pic of the Japanese Classic I had seen modded with a plexi cover. It looks pretty good. You're probably thinking about glare, but there is anti-glare plexi as well.

Thanks for the reminder about the touch-screen overlay kits. I was more interested in modding an original Plus era compact and was thinking I would have the front of a CRT sawed off and stripped of phosphor to cover the LCD. Now I can do that and have my touch-screen too.
