Ok...I plan on using either a ATI RADEON or ATI All-in-Wonder video card. The question is what type of LCD can I hook up to it without using some other card to convert things. I've read lost of post and they just confuse me. Any help will be greatly apprciated.

Thanks,
Trey

If you spend the money and get an LCD with a VGA input, then you can use any video card. (expensive)

If you get an LCD with a composite input (usually one RCA type cable) Then you can use any TV out video card (like the All in Wonder). That type LCD is usually listed as NTSC. or it says they are video in. (most if not all the ones you buy at a car stereo store are composite video in. (as low as $150 for 5" screen)

Finally if you are a hardware hacker, then you can get a LCD out of a laptop or something of that nature, and drive it with a special video card...most of the better Single board computers can drive them...this method is the most painful, unless you have the right parts, and pricewise is somewhere around halfway between the VGA LCD and the Composite LCD.

Hope that helps.
