How to connect a car monitor to 120vac?

How would I go about connecting this to 120vac? I'd like to use it as a monitor inside.

You need a 12VDC power supply with sufficient current capacity (amperage) to support the monitor - that shouldn't be too much.
EDIT: the specs say 12 watts consumption (that's essentially 1 amp @ 12 VDC).
A 2 or 3 amp 12 VDC supply should suffice.
Such critters are available from (e.g.) Radio Shack, Jameco, PartsExpress, MCM Electronics, etc., etc. etc.

Something like this should do the trick: http://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-PC-6-120AC-Power-Converter/dp/B0012BL8LG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_auto_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=18SDMDWP44E8S4HVNNAP

Just be sure to check the current draw of the monitor first to make sure you're not going to exceed it's capability.

Yup, that should work just fine.
