Small LCD TV for Monitor?

[Tenorman]

I am looking at purchasing something similar to this:

I would primarily be using this as a monitor for an Atari 130XE. Is anyone here using anything similar? How is the picture quality? Any downsides I should know about? I know that it probably won't look quite as good as a real monitor but this would save a lot of space. Thanks for any input.

I've actually used a couple 7" monitors on a short term basis. Obviously the clearer the signal, the better the image, so if you can do any of the video signal improvement mods (e.g. s-video), you'll really notice a difference. I wasn't a believer until I saw Freecell XE on an un-modded 800XE and a S-Video modded 65XE. Some of my photos are posted in this forum somewhere

I was going to use the composite cables. I'll probably try it with just the RF as well for fun just to see what the difference is. I'm not planning on doing an s-video mod, at least not yet.

I use a MadCatz 7" game screen the only thing I don't like a bout it doesn't have a foot, it has to be mounted to something that can be a pain at times.
