$20 lcd screen

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.

it has the pinout and everything, but could it be used for a portable? that is the question. who has the answer
A gun rack... a gun rack. I don't even own *a* gun, let alone many guns that would necessitate an entire rack. What am I gonna do... with a gun rack?

As it's basically a Nokia screen for phones 5100, 6100, 6610, 7210, 7250, it would proberbly be cheaper to get one of those phones and tear the screen out. My Nokia 5100 was £5.

Don't really think it's worth it though due to the size and as daguuy says, it's digital so you'd have the additional expense of a composite to digital converter.
I've often found if people spend less time worrying about what someone the other side of the world has posted on an internet forum and more time getting laid, they'll be a lot less tense.
