I have often stood in the garage crouched over the tiny screen of my phone trying to find out how to from some YouTube video. Now those days are over!
An obsolete flat screen with a chromecast now sits on a swing around mount. Hooked it up to an old stereo amp and speakers so there is Spotify and Internet radio as well. I can even have my own drive in cinema. :)
Martin videos all nighter next weekend!

Only annoying thing is why I didn't think of it sooner..

Any old screen with a hdmi input will do, even most pc screens..

Brilliant!

I have very serious full stereo music system in my garage and thought that was being decadent!

Now you make it sound like decadent is a bad thing.. ?

Anyways much better to put old electronics to use than to throw away.
Reuse and re-purpose is so much better than recycle and that is far from decadent :)

Decadent - carpet in the garage, better quality than the ones in my house :blush:

Ok it's recycled from next door, but it's still warm and comfy to lie on when working on the Jimny, listening to the stereo! This is why TV a bad idea in my garage, at this point why would I go in the house? :laugh:

Carpet in a garage? I hope you have a dehumidifier too or your Jimny will be sitting in all the moisture it carries in with it every time it rains. A suspended wood floor is best for protection from moisture, needs to be robust though.
