I don't even get a page any longer ;-) But a search for LCD module turns up 
quite a few, ranging from 320x240 to 17" on the first page. Also with minimum 
orders as low as 2 pieces, and others with prices as low as $2 (for a not 
mentioned amount). There's one that sends low-res displays for shipping costs 
for testing, though their warranty terms made me smile [1]: 

 Warranty: Usually, product warrantees last 12 months if normally used

When looking around, what should we look for? The topoly screen got a bit of a 
special connector, I understood. Would dual-screen be an option? Or is that a 
bit 20th century? We could up the ante, and go for 3d (3display, that is). 

To find additional markets: is anyone on the list "into" cars? Did you use 
OBD2 or some kind of interface? Would it be nice to have a phone or tablet 
that reads out real-time engine info? My rationale was: car extra's seem 
usually higher priced than comparable non-car gadgets (but I'm not so much 
into cars, so I'm not really in touch with reality there...)

Best regards,

Boudewijn
