bought one of those for $55 (aus) including p & h. still waiting for it to arrive but i did ask the seller a bit about it meanwhile and found out;

there are generally two types of the mini 2.5" rear view moniters on ebay
a 4.75 watt and an 8w

both come with car adaptors not ac adapters

the one i bought coulf operate within +/- &20 of 12V but i'm attempting to run it off an 8.1v battery (i won't be using it's inbuilt speakers)

once it arrives i'll tear it apart and tell all the details (size, circuit board etc.)

the screen arrived and i discovered....

it could run with no problems using 7.5v

it has a switch to make the screen mirrored (don't know why it needs that)

it has an inbuilt amp with volume control

controls for brightness/colour
and all on the one circuit board

p.s
it does it get a bit warm
