PC LCD

Hi,

If you are looking for a 640*480 LCD then 6.X" is probably the nearest standard size. Look at NEC (great LCDs but costly) and LG/Philips for these.

Alternatively look at 1/4 (quarter) VGA (320*240) and then you can find few smaller displays.

Remember there are a variety of interfaces as well as the standard VGA analogue.

Good luck
 
Of course -- this was the neatest thing in the late 1970's -- Hewlett Packard's entry into the PC market --

There's little RGB LCD screens around that size; a friend got me some from a market stall in Japan where they were very cheap. And I think some of the Playstation LCD displays are RGB. You'd need to mess with Powerstrip to drive them from a regular VGA card though, and possibly create a monitor ID EEPROM.

Some of the portable DVD players have screens around 5"; they're cheap enough, IF the screen can be driven from something "normal" like RGB or composite video.

Check out the display threads and FAQs at http://www.mp3car.com ... just about everything has been discussed there at one point or another. And also check out the DIY video projector threads here on diyAudio; those guys are messing with all kinds of LCD displays of all sizes.
