From camera to computer screen?

Hey, I happened to pass by the thrift store and picked up a working webcam for $5. I plan to use it in place of one side mirror, and have an old laptop PC to plug it into.

The only problem is that there's no good place to put the full-size monitor screen in the cockpit. Also, I lack sufficient computer knowledge to know what could be made to serve this function. (The ideal solution would be a portable GPS screen.)

Any ideas on what could function as a TV screen for the webcam?

Hi,

I've been driving with two video mirrors for a while now:
