The K04BB device is a great little relatively inexpensive and compact Thunderbolt monitor.

Another option is to use a Raspberry PI and the 7" color LCD touchscreen along with the latest Lady Heather code.   I've added touchscreen support and some optimizations to the screen code for better display on smaller screens.  The combo makes for a very nice package that shows pretty much everything and lets you control the unit from the touchscreen.   The PI + touchscreen does cost around $100 though.  I've seen some really nice builds, such as Willis Hendly's,  with the Tbolt, power supply, and PI/touchscreen (I think he actually uses a Beaglebone) mounted in a box.  Perhaps he will do a post showing his implementation.
