I need to find an easy way to calculate the draw, mAh, that a screen that I have purchased.
Heres some technical specs if need be and the names and so forth
Prime View TFT LCD 5"
Up to +12VDC (It can run at 5v evidently, tested it with a 7805 reg)
Not sure on the max amps it runs on, but it runs fine on 1amp from a reg.

Multimeter set to amp mode?

Yes, set a multimeter on amp mode and put the probes in series with your power source. That will tell you how much current is passing through your system.
