Small LCD Display 6-8 inches- recommendation needed.

If you have one of the newer video cards featuring some sort of composite-video output (usually s-video), you can use a portable DVD player or one of the LCD monitors aimed at letting kids play their favorite video games in the car. The resolution will suck, of course...
