jason howie Unregistered guest | ok i have a 7" tft lcd screen in my car. i want to hook it up in my dorm room. it has 2 wires, red for power and black for ground. if i were to buy an AC to DC power converter, could i hook up the tv in my room? could i connect the 2 wires to a 12 volt cigarette plug and just plug it into there? the only thing im not sure about is if "positive-negative" is different than "positive-ground" anyone know if this would work or not? any help would be appreciated...thanks. |

jason howie Unregistered guest | also, is there a cable that converts the cable tv cable into a video rca, or an s video cable? |

Anonymous | Dude buy a real TV that goes in your house. Car audio equipment is called CAR AUDIO for a reason it goes in your CAR not a dorm room. |

jason howie Unregistered guest | thanks for no help at all. why did you even post? that was the most useless, helpless comment i have ever seen. this is a cool project for people that are interested in electronics. someone that knows electronics please help. |

|
jason howie Unregistered guest | thats just cause you know nothing about electronics so you say that. what is so bad about converting it? is it cause you know nothing about electronics? |

You need to buy a house television not a car tv. What you are wanting to do is like hooking up a car sound system in your house. Just go out and buy a 13" TV for 80 bucks at WalMart. And once again CAR AUDIO IS FOR YOUR CAR NOT HOUSE OR DORM ROOM. |

jason howie Unregistered guest | you guys are f-cking g-y. straight up. no help what so ever. |

Anonymous | Well try buying a home TV you f*cking DUMBASS you want to talk sh!t but you want to put car audio in a damn dorm room. Get a damn job and buy a 13" TV like Jay said. |

Ground and negative are the same thing as far as this goes. This power supply has a positive and negative post as well as a cigarette lighter input. |

jason howie Unregistered guest | thanks man i appreciate it. i just bought it. hope it all works out |
