Does anyone know where I can get a small (approx 5") lcd VGA screen
either in the UK or shipped to the UK.

There seems to be quite a few PAL or NTSC ones (i.e. TV), but I want a
VGA screen that I can plug directly into the video port on my graphics
card.

oh, and if was cheaper than a custom made job it would be nice!!!

It may be cheaper to go with a video card with a TV-OUT and plug that
into an NTSC unit.

At 5 inches, you are not going to miss the resolution one bit unless
you use a magnifying glass to watch it.

With a 5" screen, you won't be able to see a thing.

You could simulate this effect by using a full sized screen and closing both eyes. 

Was there something in particular that you didn't want to see?

it's for a car project, hence the need for a small screen. and it
really would be a thousand times easier for me if I could get a simpe
VGA screen rather then a tv out card and PAL screen

They're fairly readily available for industrial applications. This
place looks as though it might have some possibles:

Lilliput and Xenarc make LCD screens for cars with VGA inputs. I
didn't look around too much, but in my cursory examination I found
this one to be the best:

A nice 7" VGA LCD panel with very high supported resolutions and a
good assortment of cables. 7" LCD panels are about the same height as
5.6" panels but a little wider.
It is $260, and although the company is US-based, it will ship to the
UK for about $40. I think credit card carriers can handle the exchange
rates.
If you search around for Lilliput and Xenarc VGA LCDs, you should be
able to find something UK based or at least a better price. Hope this
helps!

UK: Go into ToysRUS... you'll be impressed. Checkonline at Maplin too maplin.co.uk

I went to Maplin's on Friday and they had some 5" tv screens on display for < £20.

I didn't enquire any further, assuming that you had probably already
exhausted this possibility.
