I bought the BW 3.5 Composite display from the seller: e-life. Should be variant 4 on the wiki page. The main board is not as big as the screen. Also comes with the separate button board, which is a plus.

The VGA screen DirtyBullets posted has a huge PCB.

True, and I almost bought one. But I'm quite happy with the quality of the composite display. I'm not sure what the quality is like of the screens people are removing from the rear view cameras on amazon, but this one is pretty clear. Plus, @myunholysins was looking for one with a smaller PCB.

I just ordered a 640x480 monitor from AliExpress

This guy guarantees it's a high resolution screen. If that's true it's the best choice ever!

Looks good, but any other site that can accept PayPal? Last time I tried to use credit card to buy something from China, by Bank was calling me that they put that transaction on hold as suspected fraud activity...

If that screen is indeed 640x480 I'll buy a few but I doubt it. Please keep us informed when you do receive it.

Well then just tell them this is a correct transaction and to trust charges by this merchant. It's AliExpress that does the charge not the sellers individually (those I wouldn't trust with my CC lol)
