Hi, new to all this but trying hard to make it all work with the kids!
We've managed to wire up the above screen and it works with the Pi - and displays the images in the test library easily. So far so good :)
Is it possible to use this screen instead of hooking up the Pi to a tv etc...so that the kids can use it as a standalone device?
Any help would be gratefully received!

No - you can't hook it up like a TV. We have several small TFTs with NTSC and/or HDMI inputs which you can use as a TV:
These would be the closest in size:
