Raspberry Pi monitor

Tweej · 2014-01-15 10:07:53

Just wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for a cheap raspberry pi monitor? I have the HDMI cable but no HDTV, and don't really want to buy an adaptor and get no use from it, whereas if I get a small, around 7 inch screen (is that a good enough size?) then I can use it for future Pis I use Any suggestions?

What do you need it for? You can get anything from 2" up for RPI.
I will be experimenting with an 7" screen from a photo frame.

The phono cable and scart adapter are about €7

Or a HDMI to VGA is a bit more, but a HDMI to DVI is cheap.
