Well started hackin following this guide:
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=289355&hl=
But as luck would have it my main board is diffrent and the solder points are a row of little solder points the same size as a pin hole. So I opened the video connector housing and found out this version of screen only used the composite video feeds. Will ask the techs at work for some RCA connectors and make my own multi use video&audio connectors. Will post pics when finshed.

Every time I see these for sale they're something like $60. If I saw one for $20ish I'd snap it up.

Pretty much any kind of home built handheld system.

No need to really hack into this screen yet because when the video connector is unplugged from the ps2 the output becomes a input. Pic of the connector being used as a input. Pic of my sat box's video output.

I guess you could use a console usb converter to hook the joystick up to a computer, and output a composite signal from your graphics card (if supported) to drive the LCD...but I still don't see what the big deal is?  you are still tethered to a computer, so might as well use the computer screen since its bigger.
