LCD Monitor help

A few months back someone had posted (I believe in the Propellar section, but not sure) about a really sweet deal on 3.5" or 7" LCD monitors that were selling quickly. Does anyone remember this post and if so can you point me to the post? If not, can you tell me what just the screen itself is called? I have tried searching for replacement monitor, etc. but am not having any luck. Someone has these LCD parts that have an RCA connection for really cheap and I now find myself in need of one.

    Parallax has a small composite monitor in its store
    Timothy D Swieter sells some RCA ones from his website brilldea.com. Believe he has a new model he might not have put up just yet
    Bill Henning sells some which accept RCA or VGA in 5" and 7" sizes. He may have other sizes too. Mikronauts.com
    Nitemax Mark (?) had some surplus in cases. I can't remember the exact size of these. But they would accept RCA.
    Rayman has several cheap screens but they don't accept RCA (parallel digital)

    Ebay has many units typically 7" for $90 ish. These are in some kind of case. You may be able to find similar at local markets. If all else fails buy a car DVD player with two screens. The second (slave) screen typically runs from RCA video.

    Also, Rayman has 4.3" LCD and 3.5" LCD Screens available. They even have LCD Breakout boards available for each of them to make hookups quite easy. www.rayslogic.com

    Brilldea has a 3.0" LCD in a 16:9 format with a composite video driver board. The information can be found here: http://forums.parallax.com/showthread.php?p=873025. PM or e-mail me and I can send a PayPal invoice your way since this item isn't listed on our site (still).

    In the past I sampled a 3.5" or 4.0" display with an VGA input, however the product worked OK and the cost was a bit much for me to offer it at Brilldea at this time. It would be a nice widget, but I focused our money else where.
