Following up myself again...

I saw a 10" LCD w/TVTuner/DVD/CD/MP3 player with composite & S-video
in @ Radio Shack the other day.  They had a Game Cube hooked up to
it--it didn't look half bad.  It was $399, though.  Axion brand. 
Seems like there are a lot of them out there--they make those travel
DVD players, too.
