I recently discovered a Company here in Germany selling
4" Playstation 2 TFT addon monitors for only 5 Euro !! (8 US $)
This thing has RGB and Sync input, and Stereo Speakers.

www.deluxe24.com/4-Zoll-TFT-Monitor12V-KFZ-Adapter-f-PS2-Slim_p2873_x2.htm

It seems they have >1000 of those in Stock.
Postage to most EU Countries is 15 Euro, to Germany 6 Euro.

Resolution seems to be 320x240 Pixels.
At the moment there are two different TFT Panels known to be used, of which one does seem to
have a not so good quality,as it seems to skip lines.
If you speak german, we are researching this TFT in this thread :

    Andreas, according to the thread (I saw it the other day on mikroc....net) it is only 220x160 pixels, still useful but far from usable as a TV monitor... according to the pics posted there. The 5.6" monitor would be much better as it has 320x234.

    No, that was my first discovery about the used Panel.
    But we discovered that there are different versions with
    the same Number and -B or B1 added.
    That addition was covered by a sticker at first view.
    It should be 320x240.
    But we are really not absolutely shure atm [noparse]:)[/noparse]
    It uses a strange placement of the subpixels, that
    makes the Picture looking not so good.
    The 5,6" sold at that Shop has a far better looking
    Panel build in,and has no need for external electroncs, as it
    accepts RGB-CSync and also has the backlight inverter
    build in, but costs more than 3 times the price of the 4".

    5 Euro is an unbeatable price for such a TFT anyway [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    2 ordered to justify shipping cost.. [noparse]:)[/noparse]
    ..and if one of them start to communicate with smokesignals, it's OK anyway. [noparse];)[/noparse]

    Andreas, if this people send my their bank details (why they were not included is beyond me) I'll get a pair. TV uses less pins that VGA:
