Shannon,

Small LCDs tend to have big swaths of plastic surrounding them.

I've got an extra 15" 1024x768 analog-only LCD I'd part with, it's a Planar FVT1503Z. It has a wall wart and audio in, with some minimal speakers installed inside the panel. It also has a 1.5" border surrounding the panel. It is on a stand and in very good condition (electrical and physical), but I am not sure if it has a VESA mounting plate on the back. The monitor can swivel to portrait orientation, but I've never used that feature.

It is very similar to this model:

BUT, it does not have any built-in USB hub.

If interested, drop me a note - I'm sure I can ship it to you well under your hoped-for $100 limit.

I got it a while ago and it has sat spare for a long time - it has seen minimal use (less than 200 hours I'd say)...
