24" Apex flat screen TV $149 at Sam's Club
vputz:
I'll confirm that using a TV without S-video (still using my circa 1992 cheap Sanyo 27") looks, well, pretty blurry. It still works, mind, but I could wish for better.

When you fire your cab up again, if that TV doesn't go back to the same state (meaning turned on) as before you shut the cab down, then you will ALWAYS require the remote for the TV to be handy, to turn the thing back on. Could turn into one of two things:
1. Annoying, in case you run out of battery power and can't start your cab up because you have no screen
or
2. Fatal, as in "I LOST THE FRIGGEN REMOTE!". Now you gotta rip out the TV or hope "Not Me" or "I don't know" return your remote.

Not nesessarily.
Mine does come on automatically, but I did also solder a couple of wires to the switch and ran them up to the top of my cab so I can turn the TV on and off without mucking around in the cab. I also don't have to keep track of a remote this way.
Its fairly easy to do and the button is an out of the way place and is not noticable to the casual observer.

Did you take the circuit board out of the remote to do this? I seem to remember someone doing that somewhere, that's why I ask.
