Not sure what would be "tricky" about a monitor in the cockpit. I've had one for years.

It's not terribly cheap but it is a fairly straight forward installation, you've just got to run 12v and a signal from whatever machine you want to use as a source down below.
I run my iPad on the boat both as a standalone device running iNavX and as a slave to the MacENC system but rarely if ever in the cockpit as I've had both readability and heat issues with it topside.
There are numerous 12V monitor solutions available now from a variety of manufacturers.
