Check out Timeline (http://www.digisys.net/timeline/hacker.html#mini)
for the $29 Sony LCX005BKB display or Halted Specialties "Gizmo of
the Week" (http://www.halted.com/gizmo/gz033197.htm) for $9.95
NEC displays with identical parameters (also includes a backlight!).

I have both pieces and am frustrated with the minature connectors
that are used.  The displays from Halted included surface mount jacks
for the micro connectors, but I don't have the facilities to make use
of them.  Does anyone know of any easy way to build such a tiny
circuit?

If you can make the connection and have an a good ~50ns clock,
these displays are easy to interface.  Essentially you shift
analog RGB data into the device in a synchronous fashion and
it displays it.  A frame buffer of some sort would be ideal.
Unfortunately I haven't even gotten to that stage yet.
