RE: DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!! 4" LCD screens...

["Paul Gordon" <paul_gordon@xxxxxxx>]

Is there any mileage in using the pocket LCD TV's that are easily available
and start from about £49?

I had thought about getting some of these and burying them in walls,
complete with the power wire & telescopic aerial etc., have them all
tuned
to the same (unused) channel, then using a videosender unit to transmit
whatever I wanted to them...

I never tried it, as it's a bit expensive just to do for an experiment!

Perhaps I'll have a go in a couple of weeks when the master bedroom is
being
replastered...

But then again, I'm not certain why I'd need a 3" colour LCD next to
the
light switch!
