Small and Cheap LCD w/ RCA Vid Input Wanted

**tekman78** · 08-14-2006, 03:58 PM

Hi All:

EDIT: Does a PSone LCD include RCA video input by default?

Being I have not time, I decided to not do the full blown carputer. I've got my badass laptop which I use for work, good enough for me.

Went with an iPod solution for my Mazda3. I have a video iPod with a cable providing video output from my pod.

I am looking for a SMALL LCD with video input (RCA) w/ 12v power. Seeing I can get a Lili 7" w/o touch for $130 from the store, I would hope someone here can recommend a tiny screen w/o touch I could use in my 3 w/ iPod for dirt cheap. I really don't want to spend hardly anything on it. 3-5" probably fine, I just want to display my track output from the iPod.

Can anyone recommend anything? Or have anything to sell for a good price? Did some eBay checks, but most over $100 and too big for what I am looking for.

Thanks,
Tim

I have this one that I've never used. Make me an offer if interested.

12VDC, RCA video input. Has mounting bracket included.

What are the external dimensions of that? Width is really the only thing I'm concerned about.

Thanks!

I can't get that fifthunit link to work in either Firefox or Explorer, but it sounds like it might be what I'm looking for.

I've been searching for quite a while now for a basic, no frills, lcd monitor. I'm looking for ~4 inches or slightly smaller for a low price. I'll likely just run composite cables, so resolution isn't overly important and I certainly don't need built in speakers or anything like that.

There are about 12 million screen options out there, but I can't seem to find one that fits my needs.

Thanks!
