I've been searching for a good deal on a small high resolution lcd, but haven't had a lot of luck.
A four inch or under LCD that is 640 X 480 minimum is hard to find on my budget, or to find anywhere for that matter.
Just by sheer luck at about 2:30 AM I stumbled across an 8 inch VGA LCD Monitor that has RCA inputs and a TV tuner that is on sale for $85.00. The specs aren't the greatest, but they aren't bad. I found it at V800 8" TFT LCD Car Monitor TV Receiver .
Of course I only run across these deals when I'm dead flat stinking broke and I can't get it.
I've learned an incredible amount from the guys here on the DIY Audio forum (and the LL one, too) so I wanted to pass on the info, so if one of you make a projector from one of these monitors, I want to hear about it, OK?
I have no clue if they're easily strippable or anything. I hope they're great.

Tian's Toshiba 8,4" LCD with TV tuner
Have you seen the dot matrix dimensions? They're too grainy for a VGA panel that size. Beware, a lot of Chinese panels have merely 234 lines.
A Chinese guy though sells a kit for a led projector, with a 8,4" Toshiba SVGA panel. The panel alone is a bit less than 100$. It also has TV tuner, but no RGB input. His name is Tian, and has discussed the led projector issue extensively on Lumen Lab forums. If someone has access there, could he/she tell him to drop by here as well? I think he might be happy to sell even subkits to us, like the panel, or the panel + some leds.
That is the best price I've seen for a smallish panel with decent resolution/dot size.
