MrMacey - there is really no "cheap" LCD screens. Your best bet is to find one that has the wall mount feature and supports a DC feed or better runs AC off an inverter that has protection for the on/off and load of starting a vehicle. I also think LCDs for DVD payers are rare -v- LCDs for computers, which are a different breed...

I bought one on Ebay last year, a 12" that supports 800x600, 800 NITS (Daylight viewable) for a "vehicular project" I am doing and I stole it for $200 - thehy usually go for over a grand

Michael, Best Buy has some for under $300 right now, and John is right they are different, you need one to play dvd's. You'd be better off to do a 110 v model than 12v as it's cheaper to buy a small inverter to power the screen which can be turned on and off with the master switch in the car.

Hey btw thanks for the great service!
