I can understand your enthusiasm although it's misplaced. When I was about 9 y.o. and gaining interest in radios and electronics (which wasn't a fashionable word in 1959!) I found a thick radio book in the library. It was mostly theory and mathmatics and way beyond my knowledge. However, toward the back there was a circuit diagram for valve oscilloscope - of course it was complicated and I didn't have a clue how to, but I wanted to build it!!! I used to dream of watching small green pictures on a 3" tube. Of course I never did, and despite over 40 years working in radio and tv, I never will (but I did build a xtal set lol). Now I marvel at an 'ipod', MP4 player or any other of today's micro devices that DO produce video on a small, portable screen. I have seen at least three decades of technological development and huge financial input into producing these and other seemingly impossible wizardry (including computers) so commonplace today. So listen to the others on this page - you ALONE cannot achieve what you want to do - unless you were a big development company with untold $$$$ to spend. The "few parts" you imagine you need are a long, long way from the millions of transistors and incredibly complex circuitry contained in the microchips and IC's that go into making that ipod produce that picture - ok? There's no point in re-inventing the wheel.
