12 volt Monitors
About 12 volt Monitors

As the monitor size increases so does the power consumption. The brightness level of the monitor also has a relation to power consumption. 14-15 inch monitors use 0.75 to 1.5 amps on average. 17 inch monitors will use 1.5-3 amps.

In general the specifications for monitors in the same size class are similar regardless of price. The main difference seems to come in the design of the frame and base. The base is removable on most models to facilitate bulk head mounting. Some monitors have a base that folds behind the monitor rather than coming off.

The following monitor models are a few of many available on the web and at local stores. They all use 12 volts for the power input and are standard home/office models. You should check with the vendor to verify that the model is still powered from a 12 volt power brick as some manufacturers will keep the same model number but change out the power supply.
