Connecting PC LCD in a van

[Imrahn]

Is there any power related problem associated with connecting a normal 20inch PC LCD monitor in a van/car? Is there any DC/AC considerations to be made in this case?

Thanx in advance for any help

normal pc lcd monitor need 230v ac power, in car you have 12V dc, so you need a an inverter for converting 12v to 230v, or you can buy special lcd designed for in car use

^^Thanx mate, but are such special designed ones available at these large sizes or if it does, are those cost effective?

i have seen 15" roof mounted displays in cars, dont know about price, xenarc is one mfgr

maybe it would be easier to do with a 12v to 230v inverter and a normal 20"lcd
