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 https://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!

Can't be done. The latop LCD takes a VGA input, not composite. You need a screent hat already has composite support.
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: https://store.viewsonic.com/html/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?site=VS_STORE§ion=10008&item=58921
if you have any more computer in car related questions just ask!
