7" TFT Screen for $80!

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.

7" TFT Screen for $80!

Post by Zero Cool »

Would this be good for use as a screen for a project?

This Curtis International 7" portable TV has a TFT LCD display with picture quality that’s so colorful & lifelike, you may not want to watch your regular TV again! And because it’s portable & has 3-way power, you can watch at home, in your vehicle or when you’re camping! Features full channel auto VHF/UHF programming receiver, built-in speakers, front- mounted controls, telescoping antenna & A/V input jack. Comes with remote, car mounting stand, AV cable & AC & DC power cords. 7.7"L x 5.6"W x 1". 90-day labor/1-year parts limited warranty. NOTICE: Heartland America was fortunate to secure a limited allocation of these portable LCD TVs. We urge you to order early to avoid disappointment. Factory serviced to meet original quality standards. May have slight cosmetic blemishes.

And it's only $20 more than the 2.5" portable TV they're selling.

I think it is good for a portable if you want a HUGE screen. This would honestly be better for my "Second Screen" idea. Basically you make a screen interface with a laptop so you can use it as a portable second screen. This would be great for unused icons or to reduce clutter, etc.

I am going to use a 7" screen that I bought for my 2600 project, I plan on making it like one of those folding gameboys I forget what they are called but you know what I mean.
