Monitor with DC Power

I'm trying to find a 15" or 17" 4:3 monitor with either 12v or 24v DC power. I do not want a rackmount solution that costs a fortune. I'm looking for something like this. It uses a power brick to convert the AC power to 12v DC.
 
I thought that all monitors (really any electronics) internally ran on DC power. I thought the inverter was just inside most monitors rather than an external "brick".

EDIT: Can you be more specific about what you're looking for and what you plan to use it for?

Well, this is certainly DC-powered. 😉 (It can be entirely powered and operated through a single USB cable! Don't expect high performance, though.)

Edit: I just saw you requested 15-17".

Edit2: 4:3? Those are hard to find these days.

Can you be more specific about what you're looking for and what you plan to use it for?
This.

Ah, USB is indeed DC. Asking for something that "runs on dc" isn't terribly clear. I'm still not sure if the op is asking for a monitor powered by usb or something else though. I mean, cars have 12v dc outlets, he could mean that as well.

Very true. I could bypass the ac input and tap in after the inverter.

This will be used below deck on a sailboat where the power options are 12v or 24v dc. The 4:3 requirement is due to space issues.
