Cheap 5 inch screens

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.

Don't shoot the messenger O.o, but it's nice that you point that out before people think about committing to buying.

I picked up one of these screens, the insides are really tiny and the LCD itself is very thin, brand Toshiba. Is there any hacks for these screens?

It also has 3 pots inside it, heres some blurry pics.

The quality is fairly bad because of the weak backlight, really would like to know if VGA can be hooked up to it.
