need a 10'' screen for an arcade cabinet

[EpsilonSubunit]

hello everybody, im planning on making a small arcade machine with a raspberry pi and i wanted to buy a 10'' screen on the cheap, like something under $50. can anybody tell me where i could find one. thanks in advance.

Scrap laptops/netbooks would be the only option I can think of...

 

Edit:
Not too sure how the video signal works but I think there's a module for the Pi that handles that...

Probably no help at all, but you can get the Retina iPad screens for about $100 or something. Only uses DisplayPort though, and it's out of your budget.

well you can buy screens that are meant for netbooks and connect those. we did that for a college project back in the day. but im not sure about the price since spare parts are not always cheap maybe get a used netbook and take that apart. but you will need a scaler for that to work since notebook screens use a special interface. but the screens are lovely thin and i imagine you could hide a scaler in a arcade maschinde pretty easily. as for power may have to tinker around a little bit or just have a second power cable.

first 2 say how to use a laptop panel as a display... You'd need to contact the user e-qstore for specifics on the module
