is it possible to use a monitor from a laptop in the 12 volt environment?   my laptop busted this weekend and its not worthwhile to fix....thought if it was possible to convert I would keep it for some future use...its a 15" fujitsu lcd if it helps, i know that the processes for showing images are different for computers and our lcd screens so i dont know if its even feasable...any thoughts???

Thanks Jason

haha no sorry i tried that one once   would have been great    well   you can but the converter is around $300 and then you would need a power inverter for the converter so it isn't cost effective to have to do that    so yes you can   but you can buy a 15" monitor made for a car for around $300
