Well, if you take the time to read the description that's in that link you post, you'll see that it has two RCA video inputs. No S-Video. If you're hooking it up to a computer, you're better off spending a little more and getting something with VGA input.

You really want one that says it has a VGA input.

That one doesn't either.

I don't think that seller has any small VGA monitors.

For that price i think i would rather go with a 7" lilliput TS shipped from o/s rather than something like that.

The old axim "you get what you pay for" certainly applies to car monitors. Spend a little bit more for a VGA screen and you won't be disappointed.
