Could I?

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.

A GC screen, or a PSOne screen (PSone LCD's are usually prefered), any screen with composite input that will run of your battery will work.

or you can use the Verge gamecube screen. Its exactly the same as a PSone screen and its got the perfect plugs to stick right into an N64

Get a Zenith screen, and sell that laptop one on Ebay.

So basically any screen that's designed to work with a game console will work. (Even the controller-screen-in-one units that used to be in the stores.)

I agree, you're better off selling that laptop screen on eBay and buying a PSone screen instead. (You might actually make a profit! ;))
