    Is it possible to use a laptop Dell 1545 with an external laptop monitor(actual laptop screen) as a car dvd system? If so how do I make the screen connection? Was thinking 1 or 2 external screens is this possible?

    You could do it using the VGA output on the back of the lappy,a couple lcd moniters, and a small inverter to power the moniters.This way you could disconnect the lappy and take it with you so it doesn't get stolen.

    I prefer Acer mointers.Size, width,placement,and mounting will all play into choosing a brand and price range.
