One of the brightest, low cost, office lcd monitors is the CMV CT-522A 15" LCD Monitor w/Speakers. This is usually available from www.newegg.com at a good price. It has a brightness number of 450 cd/m2 and I've heard of cruisers using this model under dodgers and in the companion way. This does not have a TV tuner with it but does run off 12 volts.

Lee,
No, I think that the lcd would be washed out by direct sunlight.
Computers have that same problem, to the point that you ave to pay a
heck of a premium to get a daylight viewable laptop. The LCD does have
a brightness control, but it has a limited range...but as in all things,
your mileage may vary.
