I was aware, but it still didn't do much for my ego. ;D
chrimeg:
All sounds good although the electronics talk is a little over my head :)

Anyhow I found a link that would seem to do exactly what I'm talking about.

Only I can't find the screen as they are discontinued by parts express and I don't have model numbers etc to source the part.

The portable DVD hack above sounds promising but how would you determine the connections when pulled apart unless it has external S-Video/VGA/RCA jacks?
Bender:
I'm working on something similar right now
since you don't need the DVD player you can get used ones really cheap on eBay
seems that the DVD readers in those portable go all the time
I picked up a 9" $25

I have a question though.
There is a composite line in but the DVD defaults to the DVD player and I want it to go directly to the Line-in
Is there a way to connect the composite directly to the LCD?

If not, is there some way to send a delayed button press (to select Line-in) that I could hook up to the power button?
I'd need a delay of about 3 sec.
Organic Jerk:
I just noticed a post on Engagdet for USB monitors that may be perfect for this thread...

A 7" USB Monitor ...hrm

Beretta:
7 inch might work.. i would'nt go larger then this, really a something between 3-5 inch would probably work well if you just wanna display button layout.
