Shopping for a screen and it is more than a bit time consuming. Has anyone found a good cheapish 7" screen that runs on 7.4V or less? I've given up on finding one in 4:3. I'll settle for an adjustable ratio at this point. Looking at this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-7-TFT-LCD-D ... 43b9a87813. It doesn't say what the voltage is, but I'm assuming 12V since it is for mounting in a car. I suppose it could just have a regulator built in. Does anyone know for sure?

Edit: Also, how is the resolution? Seems kind of bad, but I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to screen things. Would it be ok for gamecube at least?

Just ordered this screen. It is a decent price and according to lexxion83 over on BH:

Few things about the above screen:

1. 800x480 resolution. Looks really good even with composite video
2. Can run off 7.4V no problem.
3. Top viewing angle is kind of small (about 25 degrees)

It has 4:3 option so you can enable via menu.

He used it in an Xbox360 WVI and from the video he uploaded, it looks like pretty good quality for the price(not like I'm playing anything HD anyway). Plus it is a real good size for my case.

Got the screen a few weeks ago. Haven't really done much since then. Been real busy with school things. Hopefully after finals I'll be able to get this thing done. Will update with progress as it happens.
