I'm looking for a non-LCD color video screen, somewhere between 5" and 8"
diagonal size. I guess 7" would be perfect.
I want to use it as the "dashboard" for my electric motorcycle. It will
primarily show the view from a rear-facing videocamera, but i'm going to
use an arduino to overlay information like speed and battery state onto
the picture, videogame style. I look forward to enclosing the back of the
CRT in transparent polycarbonate so that the yoke and other features are
visible.
i might have to use an LCD until i find the right CRT, but i think a CRT
would be ideal for reasons of class and style. But it has to be color.
if you know of a color CRT monitor in this small size range that's
available (for free ideally) please let me know. I am expecting composite
signal, but VGA would probably work too if i modified my signal plan.
thank you,

P.S. if you're interested in an antique vacuum-tube television, make me an
offer:
