 A good place to look would be in a recent copy of "Nuts & Volts" magazine.
All sorts of companies advertise in there, selling new and surplus displays.
Another, admittedly very different aproach you might want to think about is
to just use an old laptop with some sort of MIDI interface, or even build an
analog interface into the parallel port. Now you've got a powerful
processor, all sorts of memory (compared to a typical microcontroller), and
a very large color display.
