Can a computer display be modded to run on a 3S LiPO?

[prion250]

I am building a new ground station and need to know if my plan will work. (Before I burn something up)
I have a 19" LED TV that came with a power brick to turn AC into DC power (Like a laptop power cord). It has it's output listed as 12V 3A and the TV uses 24-30 watts. Instead of using the power brick I want to connect the TV to a 12V 3A UBEC and then a 3300mAh 3cell (11.1V) Lipo. Is this feasable or am I going to burn the TV up?

I bought one of these for $10 on eBay.

WOW that's cheap! How is the resolution of the 9 inch screen?

Here's a link to the manual.

They don't state the resolution, but remember, your cameras output is usually 400-520 lines, so too much resolution is wasted.

These are the "slave" units to a DVD made for mounting in a car to keep the kiddies happy.

It has a four conductor mini plug and says 9v input. I've been running it on a 9v cigarette lighter plug, but I'd bet a 3s would do ok.

Keep an eye on eBay. They pop up real cheap sometimes. I was the only bidder at $0.99, plus $9.98 shipping. You might get both the master and slave together almost as cheap.
