Custom DVD Nav. Where to get a cheap LCD screen?

I can get my hands on a couple of dvd nav units and I plan on wiring them up for my own pleasure. Ahh, "The Dodge" will be blessed first, and then perhaps the Vibe. I have no clue about these systems, and I'll have to wire it up from scratch. I was just wondering where I could get some cheap mobile LCD screens. And don't say ebay please, I hate Paypal. Any online stores I should check out?

Cool thanks. They have a lot to look through, so I can get an idea of what I'm up against.

I've been to their "store" here in Montreal so they are legit. They do have some "shipping issues" though I've heard.Just wanted to give you a heads up there

I just noticed that they were located in Canada. I've had shipping issues with just about evey order from different countries, so I guess I'll keep looking. They gave me a good start at finding what I want though.

Actually they have a warehouse in the US that is where they would ship your item. The shipping issues I have heard in the past is that they will send you another model if the one you order is not available.I would contact them first IMO. Like I said before they are legit

You can get some good deals on DECENT screens on ebay. I believe Jahntassa got his LCD touch screen for his carPC from there. A non-touch LCD would be cheaper...

the screen jahntassa got is a heck of a deal, 50 bucks for a 5 inch and from his pics looked good. has all the ports hooking up almost anything.
