Well, there's actually many mobile VGA monitors out there, ranging from 6.4" to 7" widescreen, to 8.4", and 8" widescreen... the list goes on and on. Usually the ones you'd buy are just modules and require the cards to run'em. A good place to start, but most certainly not one of the more cheaper options is http://www.earthlcd.com/skhome.htm

Constantly scouring on EBAY is a good alternative and you usually can find some pretty good deals. Make sure whatever LCD module you get has a dimmable inverter, simply adjusting the brightness is still gonna give you a disco like interior at night. This is still the Xenarc's greatest weakness.

There's also one other mobile VGA monitor exactly like the Xenarc that just recentely came out, and this one is rated at 400 nits (very close to sunlight readable). This guy is about to start selling them soon, you can preorder. it uses a hitachi lcd module, unlike the xenarc which uses the panasonic.

I've had my pc/xenarc system installed in my VX since like july of 2002... and I'm probably gonna upgrade to an NEC lcd 7" 16:9 as it has a more complete viewing angle and better contrast ratio. I don't have the model number handy at the moment.
