5" LCD Monitor

[DaveC]

Does anyone know where I can get hold of one of these in the UK, with either a VGA/TV type lead? I'd really like to add one to my case!

I'd like to pay around the £50, but that may be a little optimistic

Optimistic

I'll say.

Only ones I've seen are all in the US and charging mega-bucks, like $199 to over $400.

Still ... somebody may know.

I've seen one for $119 in the US, and sometimes on ebay.co.uk for £70 - if you are lucky

check out Matrix Orbital they will ship to the UK and have been very well rated at Bit-Tec.net.

Matrix Orbital offer several kinds of display units:

• Character LCDs
• Character VFDs
• Graphic LCDs

I hope that this is of some help to you in your search for that essential mod

do you mean and have it like a dual screen view 2nd monitor and run programs in your windows then move then onto the sreen, this is such a good idea, i already use 2 monitors and this comes in handy but you are a genius mate, good luck... www.ebuyer.com???

You can get these things quite cheap from CCTV suppliers, they're used for door entrance monitoring systems.

It's been a while since I installed one though, so not sure of price. Not sure if they're suitable either, you'd have to mod to fit it and as far as I can remember, they only take composite video input.

What input do these computer dedicated LCD screens take then? (sorry, haven't checked out above links yet).

I've got a couple from ebay.

Hay, I bought a 6" & Portable DVD player from Makro for £150 (For use in car)

PSOne LCD Screens can be got for about £50, they've even been seen for as low as £20 in Comet.

They're not compatible with VGA out of the box but there's a good modding guide on Bit-Tech somewhere about how to do it
