I have seen an LVDS converter board for around 20 dollars on e-bay, and I think this might be my best option, as I have plenty of old laptop screens around, and I'm losing faith in these cheap chinese screens as a long term opton. Also, this would allow me to have a much higher resolution since it incorporates the HDMI connection. I think it still runs off 12 volts, but it has a 5 volt signal on the board you can tap into
