Lcd Digital Picture Frames

Turn LCD monitor into Photo Frame?
Here’s a challenge to all you techies out there.
I have an standard LCD monitor with svga input. I want to use it to display pictures (i.e. like one of those Digital Photo Frames you can buy) but don’t want to use a computer or laptop.
So, what other devices are available to show photos on a svga monitor? I have seen an mp4 player on eBay and a device that works from a hard disk but both were higher than I want to pay (max £30)
So, is there a cheaper mp4 player with vga output out there or is there a memory card reader or memory stick with (s)vga output either directly or via a simple adapter? Or anything else? I can’t believe nobody else is looking for something like this – have you seen the price of Digital Photo Frames?
10 points and a bag of donuts to the best answer!
You could use the extra TV out function on your computers graphics card. Then you could just set it to be a extended desktop and place the photo slideshow on that screen?
