The MGL iEFIS challenger is now being released and is available for viewing at Oshkosh on MGL's stand, Booth 2139 as usual.
High resolution XGA 10.4" 4:3 format with sub-pixel sampling, pressure sensitive touch screen (usable with gloves and in turbulence), high brightness, non-reflective, full 180 degree viewing angle in all directions including up/down.
Of course, fully compatible with the existing iEFIS Explorer. More details below the pic lifted from Matt's Oshkosh brochure.

Some of the iEFIS features (for more go to www.MGLAvionics.com)
iEFIS system compatible (single or dual iBOX)
Wifi access point (view demo apps at our booth)
Up to 8 panels per aircraft, any mixture
Ideal mix of user interfaces: Buttons, Rotary controls, Touch screen and Joke/stick mounted controls. The best solution for every task.
Dual power supplies (master-backup)
Monitoring of up to 4 engines (NA, diesel, turbine and electric)
Up to 4 Gyro based AHRS plus GPS based AHRS
Simple and quick installation due to iBOX system, very minimal wiring behind panel (just power and a single screw in LAN cable)
Compatibility to a wide range of third party and MGL products (radios, transponders, Nav radios ECB, ADSB, etc)
Standard interfaces: ARINC, RS232, CAN and others including analog and digital inputs
Built in high performance, attitude aware autopilot (lateral and vertical control), up to three axis (including yaw) using MGL servos
Support for internal or external autopilots (NMEA or ARINC). Internal autopilot can be slaved to external navigation system (such as G430 and compatible) including GNSS.
Standard support for up to 4 video feeds for use with FLIR, taxi, wing, tail or survey cameras (compatible with standard PAL or NTSC signals)
Very high performance built in 50 channel GPS system (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, RAIM) with anti-jamming technology. Compatibility with external cerified GPS sources (NMEA or ARINC) for compliance where needed.
Map touch navigation - including autopilot follow.
Vertical airspace ahead graphics - get the full picture when flying in complex airspaces with warnings ahead of airspace entry (or exit if enabled).
Fastest boot time of any complex EFIS system on the market. As little as 5 seconds from power on to fully usuable EFIS system including GPS fix (if position was known when power was removed and you have not moved a large distance it takes just 1 second to re-aquire a fix).
Navigation databases: Jeppesen, PocketFMS, EasyPlan, MGL user group maintained data including maps as well as others. Support includes geo-referenced approach plates. Other commercial data and map sources are in development.
Easy to follow upgrade path. On average, MGL releases a new firmware update once a month with new features or improvements. Upgrades are very simple to install (just copy a single file you download from our website onto the SD card, insert and switch on - takes just a few seconds). Firmware updates are free.
As with our other systems, the iEFIS allows selection from many built in, pre-made screens, engine and fuel displays. However, it extends on the user definable screen layout design which allows a user to create his own screens from scratch or freely modify the built in screens.
Built in library of many unusual flight, engine and navigation functions to cater for unusual applications including space flight.
Oh yes - the price. It's good. Of course it is.
