I am currently using a remote mounted laptop with wireless mouse and keyboard with a dash mounted 15" monitor in my one ton dually. I would like a 8" monitor so I can duplicate the set up in my Buick. So far the best bet is a dual screen DVD player for around $100 then resell the DVD with one monitor on e-bay. Too bad these inexpensive electronic picture frames are lacking in a usable input. The main problem I am having is not being able to lower the brightness enough for night time vision. I am using an old anti-glare screen with a dark window tint added to slip over the top at night.

Yeah, it's been going a while...
I was browsin' the net lookin for the same thing as you guys.

Legacy LSCHR5.6 5.6" Color LCD Monitor
Lanzar Street Vision SVHR56
Lilliput 1.8 Inches LCD Monitor
LCD's @ SmarterDeals.com
PYLE View Series PLHR56
Legacy LM56

I thought I wanted a stand-alone screen to mount a camera on top of for using Skype, but now I'm thinking about installing one in the side panel of my PC's tower. I'm sure it could have a practical use such as being a digital picture frame or a touch-screen control panel, but I'm sure it's for pimpage, mostly.

Cool Small LCD
I seem to remember seeing a 25$ lcd monitor a while back...
I'd really like to put a monitor in my case too, prbably a drive bay. But I DO NOT want to spend over 50$. Any clues? over a 100$ ??

They are getting more popular, and thus cheaper, but I doubt you'll find anything for $50... even $100 is pushing it.

If you just need composite or s-video input, you can always pick up a cheap portable DVD player (make sure it HAS A/V input)... I use a 10" DVD player for adjusting cameras in my day job (CCTV technician).

If you want VGA input, well... googling "small vga lcd" found me these:
