You'd have to get the board to go with it....the screen i originally used was a flat panel monitor, and there is an adapter for it...the screens you have there will need some modding to make work. I'd just buy a flat panel LCD made for the car.

 

how much would that run me?

 

Depends on the size screen you want. The most expensive of them I believe is $1500 which is a 15.3" widescreen.

 

i heard there is a way to use a laptop screen and convert it to use in the car. all i want to use it for is my xbox and i want a 12-14 inch screen for the back seat. is there someway to convert the laptop screen to hook it up to an xbox?

 

how much are those icon-tv screens you put in that bmw trunk you just finished?

 

I'm sure there is, but I don't personally know how to do or it what you need.

 

what about hooking up a flat pnale monitor, what do you need to do that? what do you take apart from the monitor? and how do you hook it up in the car to run it to a xbox?

 

You'd probably have to strip the LCD out of it's case, then get a converter to hook it up to the xbox. Make sure it's a flatscreen that supports VGA. Then you'd just snag an xbox VGA adapter and you're ready to go. Apart from installing it, that is.

 

Yeah teh LCD controllers for those laptop LCD's are pricy like $300. Not worth it.

 

be careful when buying LCDs, look at the pixel response time. Most compu. monitors are not fast enough for video and you can get smeary slow effects.
