Question: 7 - 10 inch HDMI capable screens/costs.
I didn't know how to phrase my title well, apologies, and I'm hoping this is the right sub for the question.
The question is: Why is it hard to find 7-10 inch HDMI capable screens for a decent price when I can find 7-10 inch hdmi-out capable capacitive touch screen android tablets for under $100.
It seems like there would be a decent amount of lower-def, HDMI or VGA in capable screens for under the price of a device that includes that hardware, but also wifi/bluetooth/processor/speakers/capacitive screen/etc.

You know, I've been wondering about that. My aspirations for it are as follows:
2nd option) split HDMI from cable box so 1 goes into the AV receiver and the second attaches to the wireless HD transmitter. Send the display to this portable HDMI screen and use Fios' remote control app to change the channels. This would go for when I'm not on the couch.
I just want to display out from my phone to car dash, no audio.. etc.. also to in-set a secondary screen in to a coffee table. I mean, ffs, I have plenty of old hi-def dvi 19" monitors laying around, and they're worth very little on CL, and I see 7 inch tablets all day with not-great resolution for under 100.. stands to reason I should be able to find a screen that size with just video input, for about 75 bucks.
I just don't get it.
have you looked on alibaba.com or aliexpress.com?
I haven't. I'll take a look today, thanks!
If you do find/buy one, please please please post it back here.
