Volks,

I recently evaluated USB Devices that enable a Laptop to be used as a TV.

Need to replay those great DVD Movies from the Syncro De Mayo while on the road in the RoadHaus.

Reference Previous postings: 

"Video Display Question"
"Video Display Question - Follow Up Report"
"Video Display Question - Conclusion Report"

Unfortunately, my Laptop's 366mz processor was to slow to display a decent TV picture. 

So Bada Bing ... off I went looking at LCD TV's.

Drum roll please ....... we have a winner >>> the Sharp LC-15BUB.

Objectives:

1. Size 15" - 20"
2. Minimal Power Consumption
3. Must be able to utilize 12Volt power input
4. Max Brightness
5. Max Contrast

LCD TV's Evaluated:

Sharp     LC-15B2UA
Sharp     LC-15B2UB
Digital Research DRLCD15TV
Panasonic TC-15LT1

Corena    CT1702
Envision    EN-7500

Sharp    LC-20B2UA
Sharp    LC-20B2UB

If anyone is interested in the specification matrix I put together.
