I have a couple of applications that are using a 240 x 128 mono LCD display, that I would like to add a little color capability to.
The Nokia displays are just a little to small.
There are a lot of 5.7" 320x240 (QVGA) color displays out there that are available for under $100. Unfortunately, it appears that
they are all controllerless.
I have seen a couple of $400 solutions from Earth and Reach,

but they are just a bit too pricey and full featured. All I need is the ability to do some line drawings and text in color.
Epson makes some nice looking controller chips,

but they require a bunch of address lines to talk to them, so they would probably need a dedicated PIC as a co-processor. Before I
embark on a month(or more)-long development project, I thought I would check and see if any of you guys had been down this path
already and knew of a better way.
