Would this work for an EFIS, MFD, etc:

LCD Video Monitor: $40 5.6" (http://www.bgmicro.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=12900)

It's a little too small David.

Realistically you need 7.75" X 7" high Minimum.

My thought was for a King Air or Beech 1900, this would be perfect. What about wiring--is that difficult?

Basically all you need is a video card in your computer that you can output to a standard RCA Video out.

Most video cards today can output this type of a signal with a special adapter that comes with your video card. (looks like an S-Video connector) but has component video connections on it.

Got it, but I probably could not run the four separate ones needed to do this (two PFDs and two navigation) without something more:

Actually looks like there are two VSI in there that are probably TCAS as well.
