Re: Portable TFT colour displays

'     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.

Well, i've got this Sharp Catalogue here.  It has a 'Table of Active Matrix
Color TFT-LCD Modules'

.  They have sizes of 3, 4, 5.6, 5.7, and 10.4 inch panel size.
.  They accept Analog RGB, and/or Composite input; the GS just happens to have
   both!
.  I don't have any specs besides what I gave you, but the book says call
   Sharp Sales... no number is given :)
.  The 10.4 inch panel uses three bit digital RGB signals, so it won't work
   with the GS
