What ppl have to say about desktop screens

Hey everyone
Plz let me know why i should NOT put a desktop screen in my car.
Mounting/wiring it has been figured out so that is not a issue.

Things i have to concider, i live in canada so i will have to go thru winter.
I would have the longest extended warranty

Thanks

That is the same monitor I use, MAG 14". I spliced the power cable into power from the DC-DC PS. Mine is not mounted though...

check out how meny NITS the screen output, tried a 14 inch in my van it had about 160 i think. daytime could not see it unless it was pointed strate to me,with sunny day totaly unviewable. a night it would light up the whole inside of my van so i needed to turn off when driving.also check out the viewing angle, dont be cheep buy a screen disigned for outdoor use.

sorry didnt mean to call you cheep, just dont want you to speed time/money on something that probably you will not enjoy.
