The screen that would dwarf all others.

[Jewjo]

I'm looking for a screen (TV? Computer monitor?) that's about 20''. I really don't want to pay a lot for it, and I think ~$50 is my price ceiling. Also, the lighter (weight) the better. If anyone knows where to find a screen like this, please don't hesitate to post a link in this thread.

However, I doubt that there is a deal on the internet matching my criteria, so I plan on looking in flea markets, hobby shops, etc., but I don't know what to look for in a screen (TV? Computer monitor?). If I need it to be compatible with my NES, what kind of specs or whatever, do I need?

By the way, this is for my NESArcade (link in sig), and can't be too large either. Dimensions are in the thread.

P.S. I know nothing about screens.

Thanks.

You won't be finding any LCDs for that price anywhere really, probably not even used. 15" computer monitors go for ~$50 on eBay. A tube tv ought to do, you are using a NES, so you'll need something with an rf/composite input, computer monitors won't do.

Find an old TV on craiglist.

Find an old TV on craiglist.

This looks to be my best option. Since old TVs are really bulky, is there a way to trim them down? I really don't have room in my designs for a super large TV.

trim down a tube tv?

no. you can't. they are bulky for a reason.

maybe go to a junkyard and look for a dvd player screen from an suv or something.

What kind of SUV dvd player as a 20" screen, and since when do they have that flax at junkyards?
