Great idea for cheap 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.

Great idea for cheap screens

Post by gamefreak301 »

If you go on eBay and look for portable DVD players under $30 dollars, there will be a whole bunch of broken DVD players with great screens! You also get one of those li-ion batteries for a good price.
Unless a dvd player uses some other kind of weird digital video signal or something! Then it's useless!
And then the first human typed up '1337'. Faith in humanity soon plummited.

Most use their own digital signals, so unless you can isolate a composite in circuit to the screen board, it is useless.

You can't blame him for posting this, it would be a great idea, sadly though, digital signal :( Maybe we could still make a 7" Gameboy Advance or DS?
