I'm wondering what a replacement iPad panel must cost. Damn those are sexy IPS 4:3 ones!

looks like a dealextreme product

*edit* and so it is! http://www.dealextreme.com/p/8-tft-lcd-monitor-with-remote-controller-and-stand-640-480-32019

Did you find it for cheaper somewhere else?

Some other annoyances to look out for:

Will the monitor automatically power on when power is applied after being off, or will it need the power button pushed?
Does it remember the last input? I have an RCA TV that needs to be reset using the remote if it's ever unplugged or there is a power outage to tell it to use the Svideo port.

Laptops are perfect for small machines.

Look on Ebay for Thinkpad 240X.  Should be powerful enough for most emulators.

Yeah, but he could still use an external monitor with a laptop. Laptops have their own issues. How to power on, will the video ribbon cable be long enough to flip the laptop over, etc.
