This might make for a nice video screen for hacking.
Don't know much about it because it's new, but it costs $79.00 US.

If anyone knows what the accual size of the screen please tell. As far as I know the screen is the same as the old b&w ones and thats maybe 2in. at biggest.

I knew it. The day I saw the videonow in stores, I thought to myself 'there's gonna be a color one eventually' and I was RIGHT!

Now where's that guide on how to convert shows to videonow compatible...This could be useful....

It's a 3 inch screen, according to the Argos catalogue (big UK store). It list the item as having a "high resolution" screen, so I'd expect a bit of an improvement over the original 80x80 one.
