Default pc LED screen for radar?

One more point to the assumption that an inexpensive radar will deliver
better resolution with a larger screen, it will not. An inexpensive radar
performs poorly. It is unreasonable to expect otherwise. Before buying a
radar, write down on a piece of paper your minimum expectations as to target
discrimination, the softest target you expect to see and in what sea state.
Then go test the radars available in those conditions. If everyone did that,
nobody would buy inexpensive radars.

I'm thinking about a $1200 budget radar for a small boat but the
screens are absurdly small. Is there any way to jack out to a 15" pc
monitor? These are $150, run on 12v and you can read them. The video
chip is what, about $6 for manufacturers? Is anybody doing this yet?
Keep bailing, ray.
