I don't see much info on a good monitor for OP in the cockpit. I came across this one.
https://www.ikey.com/product/ik-kv-12-1-2/
It sells new for $1300 but I bought one on eBay for $27 like brand new and there are quite few on there in the $50 to $60 range.
It is 12.1" touchscreen (2 point) and it says it is good for all conditions. High brightness for daylight viewing 1000nit. 12vdc, looks like it may need 4a source but mine is running fine on a 2a supply. Enclosure is made out of aluminium. has a antiglare screen. vesa mounting, hdmi.
when i plugged the usb in to the RaspPi the touchscreen worked right away. however it seems to be just one point, need to figure that out. it has a window key that will drop down the Pi menu if your OpenCPN is full screen. BTW I am running a Pi 3+ B and OP v2.
Hope this helps someone looking for a monitor.
