i'm looking for a 4 inch screen please help can't find one

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.

Um, probably not. I'd just buy a whole new screen, my guess is that screens aren't compatible with other decoder boards. Also, I was incorrect, it is the Casio EV-4500, and it is the same price (and similar size) to the 4" LCD module from the other site. Pick your poison, would you rather have to hack your own pocket TV but be able to watch TV on your portable or would you prefer a simpler method that doesn't tune channels?

Well, I know the screens on that site come in 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, etc… but pocket TVs are more common in 2.5 and 3.

It's very expensive, though.

I too require a 4 inch screen, but it must have at least VGA (640x480) resolution, and it must be capable of VGA signal mods. I know the PSone screen fits this bill almost perfectly, but the PSone LCD control board is round and large. The portable I'm planning needs only be 4 x 6 inches, so the round PSone screen would be unnecessarily large.
