My brother has something like this in his truck. When he has to pull off the road to fill out the log book or just take a break. he can plug the laptop in or just watch TV from the sleeper compartment of the truck. The flat screen TV plugs into the trucks stereo. So his remote works anywhere in the truck. i got a flat screen on my new computer, and it looks like a ant sitting in the space of the old monitor.
