I want to build a digital photo frame for my Mom for mothers day. I need to buy a lcd screen and can't find one for a good price. Where (other than ebay) could I find a good deal on a screen? I am looking for a size bigger than 6".

Why is this so cheap?

If you live near a large/good "China Town" I'd look there. I can find cheaper electronics related stuff in China Town than I can online usually.
