Hey, I bought a Raspberry Pi for university and I'm curious if anyone would know a good (cheap?) small monitor.
I'd likely be doing stuff along the lines of this Google Calendar wall mount powered by a Pi

It can be VGA or HDMI, I have adapters/cords for either. Problem is it can't really be small resolutions, so at first after being unsuccessful at finding some, I thought about video picture frames, if any would accept input.
Any ideas? Thanks
Edit: I'm also good with displays as small as a wallet, as long as they're HD/full resolution
go to the dump/recycling center, or somewhere they've got tech no one wants
Same goes for thift stores. Monitors for 10 to 20 bucka.
Find a high school. Their IT departments usually have mountains of shit they're too lazy to get rid of.
1280x1024 monitors are reasonably decent res and many businesses are getting rid of their old ones so they are super cheap and easy to find. Usually run in the 15" to 17" range.
Considered using a smallish touchscreen? 7" ones can be easily found for <$100.
Won't be as responsive as your high-end tablet, or as large as a normal PC monitor, but at least it's interactive.
