Good, Cheap, 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.

Good, Cheap, LCD screen?

Post by Frizo » Sun Feb 28, 2010 2:52 pm

I am working on a portable NES , name is unknown at the moment.
I really would like to use an LCD, as they are nice, durable, and jus high quality.
This is where you guys come in. I need an LCD, and battery pack.
I am posting this as the LCD is more important than the battery pack, I have a few battery packs in mind.
I am on a budget, around 30-40 dollers as I am unemployed at the moment (and a minor, so....)
Any help would be appreciated, Thank you! :)

I would have to say this would be the cheapest you will find, for a PSone screen at least.

This has RCA outputs? If not, I would have to go small and get this:
