I want to know 2 things. can this screen be used as a monmitor for my computor@ what is the actuac voltage used. Can I hook it up to 12 volts?

yes to the computer question......don't know about the 12 volts maybe with a inverter.

The issue will be power, it uses two powered USB ports for power supply. The port on the monitor is a micro USB you could probably use alternate means of power. I don't have the power specs on hand to advise what would be best for alternative power.

Yes just calculate the voltage/ 2rolls/32feet: 12volt transform. 4rolls/64feet: 24volt transformer........

I would check the voltage required for that laptop including the amperage needed. The one I bought is still working but it's low amperage. So it runs very hot and sometimes the screen will flicker.

This is a fine little monitor. It will work on 9 volts (best), but not on 6 volts. It will probably work from a 12 volt adapter - but the higher voltage may shorten its useful life. (If finding a 9 volt switching adapter is a problem, you can buy them from Amazon and/or EBay - they're very inexpensive.)

As with most PCs there's a slider switch on the back near the plug input that allows you to select the voltage. I haven't tested this since my voltage is 120 (the default setting), but I did verify that the switch is there. The product specs should also verify it.

The 2 wires are for the monitor voltage and also power the unit. I only tried it at 12V but my guess is their voltage regulator can take the full range of voltage and convert to 5V or 3.3V

Yes. It would display 6volts on the screen. Make sure you are getting the power probe 3 with the display. The light would not light up however. But it would display the voltage. I use it to check 5 volt computer reference voltages all the time.

Have a look at the back of your power brick (you may need magnifier, I do), it will have an output value saying ___ VDC. If that is 12 or 19 then you should be good to go.

The screen uses 12 Volt DC at 1.5 Amps. The transformers to provide this are easily accessible at any electronics stor.

This board supports an hdmi input. Like an hdtv. If you want to plug in a classic moniter you will need a graphics card that supports it

The previous commentor is correct. This laptop is limited ... but it is a fun little tool. Hope you choose to get it and pursue adapter options.

I just checked the monitor and its box but neither state how much amperage it consumes. Use the 12V@3A power supply. It should handle the monitor just fine.

The succinct answer: No. The longer answer: Long, long ago I had to build my own menu screens in DOS edline, and briefly jumped on the 'chasing computer technology carousel'. I soon learned that I had neither the time nor the financial resources to stay on. These days I purchase used, refurbished lenovos. So, given my outdated equipment, this connector was actually a step up for me. I never had two systems hooked together before. I understand your frustration. It would seem somebody would have the type of connector you are looking for. However, so many computers with old VGA technology are still in use that the demand for this particular unit still exists. Having said all that, I hope you find what you are looking for.

More correctly, no, the unit requires 12 volts DC. However, you can buy a wall wart on Amazon or eBay that will do the job. You'll want one with an OUTPUT stated to be 12 vdc (volts DC), and 2 amps or greater. You'll have to connect the power supply wires to the monitor wires yourself.

This is a 12V. Fan, you cold apply 12v. directly (Ground and +12V.) and it will work at it's maximum speed (google "pc fan connector" to find out) The connector is: |Ground - +12v - Speed sensor - Speed control| However this is intended as a computer fan, i will not recommended it for any other use.

The actual display is 9 volts at 2 amps. The adapter that came with my display is "universal" with a US plug. If the adapter you get is also universal all you will need is a foreign plug adapter. If you need to purchase a power adapter, the input receptacle on the display is a standard coax style power connector.
