Small display with no assembling

Question

I'd like to buy a display for my pi (B+, I will by it as fast I can). But I can't find any options that does not require assembling. Display can be "anything", like character lcd (http://www.adafruit.com/product/399), small (touch)screen (http://www.adafruit.com/products/1601) or led matrix (https://learn.adafruit.com/connecting-a-16x32-rgb-led-matrix-panel-to-a-raspberry-pi/overview).

It can be connected via hdmi, gpio or usb, but it have to be possible to control it via command line.

And power supply must be micro usb or pi itself. It's nice if it's cost under 50€ (70$).

I don't think you'll be able to do it to be honest. There is a solution using the composite port (see http://www.wisegai.com/2012/11/29/raspberry-pi-using-a-3-5-tft-car-monitor-optional-powered-using-usb/) for an example but that requires soldering as well. You might be better off looking at http://hdmipi.com/ - price is just above what you want but it's going to be a good screen. It's not available yet but will be within the next few weeks.

I also don't think that there exists anything that meets the specs yet, anything small will require adapters/soldering/etc. to get working, and anything large will be outside the price range - I also found this, which is available now, but still above the budget
