Need a new video option in the car
Hi everyone,

So, the old DVD player that we had in the car has decided that it no longer wishes to work. Around town that's not a problem of course, however we are going on a long car trip down to California in a month and a half and it is not an option to do it without an entertainment device (yes, I know I didn't have them when I was a kid, but it's as much or more for the parents as it is the kids......)

Anyways, it occurs to me that in the year 2015 there is no need for a DVD player anymore, and I can just use an old cellphone to stream media to the screen....so in essence all I really need is a display (and no dvd player). I would think this should have the effect of lowering cost, or at least creating a better quality/dollar ratio. However...I just don't seem to know where to start looking for that. Any google search that I do just takes me to the old fashioned and expensive DVD options. I don't need that....

Does anyone have any ideas on where I can start looking for a display?
