Electric current

[The Astroman]

As mentioned in other threads, I might be buying a flip-down screen. But those I found are in the automobile "environment". So they plug in a "DC 12 Volt Power Source". What if I want to plug it in a European electricl outlet (220-240 V I think), what kind of adapter would I need?

You will need an AC to DC Adapter which converts the AC 240 Volts to 12 DC Volts.

You will need something like this http://www.crutchfield.com/S-lXO4Rue4ZlE/cgi-bin/prodview.asp?i=19012V200M

Or you can check this from Radio Shack, it's exactly what you need, but make sure that you can plug it into a 240 AC outlet.

I'm confused again! I found this : http://www.millionbuy.com/xovxo360r.html where it says AC to DC converter, but it says 12v INPUT and 110v OUTPUT! What I want is 110v (or 240v) input and 12 v output, a AC to DC converter. So why does it say waht it says?
