Integrating Laptop LCD in vehicle

I recently was given a 14" laptop LCD screen and was told that with minimal accessories I could integrate this into my vehicles mobile video system.  My question is: Has anybody tried or had success trying to integrated a laptop monitor into their video system.  I've been doing a lot of reading about these monitors but have not been able come with any instructions on which wires need to be used inorder to run a composite video signal in and which ones to use for power and ground

Anybody with any ideas please help me out

if you're serious about getting the computer n the car go to http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/index.php as far as getting composite into the laptop screen, i doubt is will work.  to get standard computer viedo into a laptop lcd you need a controller card (~$200.00 if you're lucky).  good luck with your install!

it can be done, just really expensive and poor quality.  The laptop screen doesnt even take standard vga.  laptop screens take a digital signal (which is where the $300 controller card comes in to convert from digital to analog vga which is what a standard monitor is).  then you would need a device that would allow you to input composite viedo onto a computer monitor.  a couple of people make them but the cheapest i've seen is from viewsonic.its $400.00 heres a link: http://store.viewsonic.com/html/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?site=VS_STORE&section=10008&item=58921

if you have any more computer in car related questions just ask!
