LCD Monitors In my car!!! with RCA Inputs?

[giambi77]

This question is a little "far out", but I am wondering if there are any LCD monitors out there (preferably as thin as possible, and no bigger then 15") that have RCA inputs? Or maybe there is a converter from RCA-->DVI?

The reason I want such a thing, is I have a few of the X10 cameras, and i want to hook them up in my car as parking distance helpers, but I don't have anything to show their output. Maybe I could buy a cheap laptop?

Any ideas/comments/suggestions would be appreciated!

Since there are DVI > VGA and VGA > composite video adapters, I should think that there are DVI > composite adapters. Haven't seen any though.

Hit Best Buy and look into the portable DVD players. Some of those are around $300-400 and I believe I saw one of the lower-end ones with RCAs on it. They're making them for the center consoles in cars so they're a little bigger and have those jacks.

Circuit City may have similar models, but the one I am thinking of is at BB.

why don't you get like a 4" lcd from parts express?

or something like this
What I think you should do is get an old camcorder that doesnt record anymore, disassemble it, and arrange it so the lcd is within view and the lens takes pictures in front/behind your car... maybe with a mirror setup?

you can even reverse the image so it makes backing up really easy
