Need Cheap Screen

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

Need Cheap Screen

Post by XCVG »

Basically, I need a cheap screen. What I really want is a PSOne screen but those are a)expensive and b)nobody will sell me one. So basically I need suggestions for cheap screens, preferably ones that won't cost me $50 to ship here *stares at China, then US*.

there is this site, Dealextreme.com which has free shipping worldwide, and they have some screens, the largest I've seen there was 3.5". might be worth checking out here:

there you go, they also got smaller screens for smaller price that might just work for your portable systems.

go on ebay an search "portable dvd player AS IS" you can get a good screen from a dvd player, although you will have to keep the motherboard. these dvd players don't work and are sold for like 10 - 20 dollars. just make sure they have a video input
