5689, VGA -> LCD
Posted by tacoman123, Mar-26-03 03:08 PM
I was wondering..

I have a laptop.. and I busted the screen. I want to put this in my car.

I was looking for small VGA monitors, but they do not have them. I was wondering if there was sometype of adapter that could convert VGA output (from the laptop) so it can work on the LCD screen (RGB?).

Thanks

they went out of buisness about 1.5 years ago, but for a while they were the shit. the history of in car computers goes 1) clarions autopc (2) q-pc (3) lots of other companies like q-pc almost directly afterward (hence the reason they went out of buisiness). this of course does not include home-brewed stuff, just production stuff.

its a 500mhz/64mb machine that is, basically, a computer, but modified for abuse in a car. it does dvd/mp3/etc...etc..etc... and has a 6.4" fold out screen. runs window (might change that to BeOS though, if that OS is still around). original cost: 2000+ dollars, my cost: 0 dollars, being "in" with the director of advertising for the company: priceless.
