We have had issues keeping the 7" LCD TVs (part number 603-32000) in stock, so we switched to a new supplier. We found a much better TV that includes a lithium polymer battery and accepts broadcast TV. If you want to build your own portable Propeller tablet, it will be much easier with the new display.
It also includes a bunch of features that aren't directly related to use with the Propeller, such as SD and USB sockets for photo frame and media player functions and ATSC digital broadcast TV reception. If you use it for ATSC reception, keep in mind that the standard was not designed for portable TVs, so the antenna will need to be perfectly still, and if you aren't particularly close to the broadcast tower, you may need a much more sensitive antenna than the included one.
If you want one, get it here.

Resolution looks good too.
I'm sure it's better for Prop projects too. My current Parallax ntsc monitor only has ~ a 2" diagonal and is a bit flaky.
170mm would be obvious!.
