Hi Paul, There is a cool answer to your question if you just want to run a separate monitor instead there is this thing called a in house box what you do is the unit comes with a separate camera and this control box and you hook it up to (Im hooked up to a 40 inch tv) whatever size tv and bam you got super screen goin on! When a pike or other fish comes by omg is that funny they are so huge! Just a thought, Trevor
