Couple of things that might make them expensive:
* How many do they sell? I bet there are lots more big
monitor sold than tiny ones, and bigger volume means
cheaper.
* Do these displays have smaller pixels? Cramming
640x480 into 5" is harder than cramming them into 14",
so the 5" is going to be more expensive because of it.
Just buy a color PDA...
