Best Marine LCD Monitor – The KEPLite Series (Now Aydin)

Marine LCD Monitor

When it comes to marine LCD monitors, you may not want to spend an arm and a leg, but you want to ensure that your marine display will function well in the outdoor, marine environment, as well as continue to work well season after season.

If you end up skimping too much on price, you will end up paying more in the long run, when your display gives out on you when you need it most. (Note, if looking for marine monitors for sale, see here: Kep Marine Monitors – Now Aydin).

 

Three things you want to look out for when deciding on a marine LCD monitor:

  • Suitable for a marine environment – waterproof, a screen that keeps out condensation/humidity, ability to function in extreme temperatures.
  • Functionality – ease of use, no lag time, clear display, able to connect with all other necessary marine electronics such as your chartplotter or fishfinder.
  • Sunlight readable – in most cases, today’s marine LCDs come pre-built with sunlight visibility, but this is of the utmost importance.

Luckily, you can get all three of these features in every KEP Marine LCD Monitor. And with KEP’s Lite displays, you can do so for less.

Cleaning of your Marine LCD Monitor / Display

While this information comes with the KEPLite, you should do this when cleaning any marine LCD display.

  • Make sure to turn off your touchscreen marine display
  • Clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth dampened (but not soaked), with a mild glass cleaner. Apply cleaner only to cloth, and never directly to the screen. Keep turning a fresh side of the cloth towards the screen to avoid scratching it with accumulated build up.
  • Allow the screen to air dry to avoid any abrasion.
  • Never use alcohol, ammonia, or acid-based cleaners.
