I'd be interested in looking at it. I called one company and was given a $15-$30 dollar quote if I remember right. By the way, don't somebody make LCD TV's that have pretty good pictures? (I remember seeing a miniature one in a store, but it's reception was bad, so it's picture was too.) I would like to find a dot matrix display panel. LED would be cool, although LCD would be just fine. If anybody can direct me to a catalog or company etc. where I can find such things, please let me know.
