Was there ever produced a mini LCD TV with SCART input?
The smallest I have found is 14" and this is CRT.
 

Hi,

the smallest TFT I found is
MAJESTIC TVD-215 TV LED 15"

Amazn says it has SCART input.

Hm... yes, I have never seen a smaller one myself :(
 

Hi,

you want it for video only or audio, too?

SCART supports various video interfaces, which one do you want to use?

A far better alternative would be to buy a Raspberry Pi, the cost is almost the same and you get a more modern HDMI connection for A/V as well as composite and audio, an Ethernet port, USB for keyboard/mouse/memory/expansion, Camera interface, more IO pins and certainly FAR more speed.
As they use Linux there is a huge range of software available too, including BASIC and C.

I appreciate it is a display you are looking for but I would question whether it is worth investing in one to match old technology when more versatile ones are available and more future proof.

I understand why you say this, ok.
However, it is a hobbyist one chip computer, based on a general purpose MCU and an ingenious firmware written in assembly. No way you can compare this to a Raspberry. You compare a thing which is made to emulate a micro of the 80s with a modern embedded system with OS. And it is a computer you can build yourself from scratch (well, if an MCU IC is considered a scratch thing anyway). That last bit is probably the biggest difference, which sets apart the two systems.
So yeah, different system, different ideas.

I have built this **broken link removed** of course, but the scart is better in quality.
Now I am using it with a 15" crt but I thought it would be better, for X-ray radiation issues to have an LCD instead of sitting in front and close to the CRT.

Well I could alter a modern low-size LCD of course and built this adapter inside it, but I thought if there was already a scart LCD of that sizes on the market.
