8" LCD
 

I need an 8" or thereabouts LCD screen or TV set. It needs to either be 4:3
or capable of switching to 4:3. The presence of a tuner is not important
either way, as long as it accepts composite PAL.

Ideas anyone?

Maplins would be a good start, see:

Nice but for the prices, I'm sure they were half that at the beginning
of December.

I was looking for 6" 4:3 recently but everyone seems to have moved over
to widescreen.

CPC has some offers, will 7" ws do?:
Code AV1487105 7" ws, 4:3 switchable, analogue tuner + composite 48quid
+ vat
I'm sure there was one with a digital tuner built in too at around
60quid + vat but I can't find it ATM. Offers end 11th Jan.

It seems to be the same with those little "electronic photo frame" things
that give a continuous slide show of your digital photos. I have yet to
see one that isn't widescreen, and yet nearly all digital cameras are 4:3.
It's as if nobody who makes things talks to anybody else any more.

Ahh, why didn't I think of Maplins and CPC? There are quite a few to choose
from!

I've got this one:-

used mainly as a monitor for composite 16:9 stuff and it's not bad at all
- especially at the price.

Look at portable DVD players. Many can accept external video input, have
(usually) a 7" screen (OK, you'll need your glasses) and come in at
ubder a ton.

Kitchen suppliers. Someone who has had a new kitchen recently - several
kitchen suppliers put these in as freebies. Or Ebay where such are sold.

I recently bought an "under your kitchen worktop" LCD screen for use in my
workshop. I paid £30, unused, from someone who had a new kitchen. I use it
with a small TV camera to give closeups on the lathe. I find it easier to
see what's happening when a 5mm diameter component requiring a 0.3mm hole
fills most of the screen :-)

Mine takes PAL in both Composite (single phono) and S-Video (small diameter
4 pin). Also has analogue FM and UHF tuners. Picture can be flipped
top/bottom so mounting can be either way up. Came with a remote control,
various leads, and a power transformer brick.
