Portable TFT colour displays

[taob@r-node.hub.org (Brian Tao)]

    At a recent trade show, I saw one of those 486 laptops with a colour
TFT (thin-film transistor?) display.  I was completely unprepared for
the brightness, sharpness and speed of display!  Laptops displays always
had a bad reputation with me, but this TFT thing blew all that to bits. 
Ghosting is completely absent, the colours are vibrant and solid, each
pixel is clear and sharp.  The viewing angle was as close to 90 degrees
as I could determine (compare this to the Powerbook 165c's passive
display... 20 degrees or so?)  Lighting wasn't particularly optimal at
the show, but even fine text was readable at any angle.  A 640x480x256
colour display was the size of the display area of my RGB monitor and
about a centimeter thick.

    Now, I desperately want one of those for my GS.  :)  I don't mind
lugging my system to user group meetings, computer shows, SIG's, etc.,
but this RGB monitor *really* weighs things down (not to mention taking
up half the space in my trunk).  If I could get one of these displays
which can take a GS RGB signal, I'd be in heaven.  :)  How much do one
of these screens cost?  The laptop itself cost $3999 (486/33, 120 meg
hard drive, 4 megs of RAM).  I'd use this over my RGB monitor any day.
