Is there a 7 or 8 inch screen I could easily use?

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.

Is there a 7 or 8 inch screen I could easily use?

Post by Notyu Oviosly »

Not to take attention away from me wanting more info on 5" screens in my other thread :D

You see, I discovered I have room in my portable for a 7" or 8" screen. However, find ones of these sizes isn't always the easiest.

I think an 8 inch screen could fit snugly in place there, but only if the guts can be placed out of the way, which would be hard, considering where I'm putting the thing. Is there any 8 inch screen with minimal guts I can use?

7 inch would provide a little more leeway in terms of space around it, but of course the guts would still get in the way somehow.

Bottom line: Is there a nice, low cost, no hassle, screen I could be using in either of these sizes? This screen is probably going to used for a number of different systems, the way I'm using it. (including gamecube and NES)

Screen looks NIIICE!!......

But its 16:9

It may fit as it is, but even if it did, I would be turned of by stretched pictures :(. But I will keep it on tabs.

Any others you would recommend?
