What about micros like this:

http://www.freescale.com/webapp/sps/site/prod_summary.jsp?code=68HC908LD64

The digikey description says that it can handle LCDs but the 
datasheet says that it's VGA/SVGA/etc style output.  This is actually 
the old part, the RoHS part number is MC908LD64IFUE so maybe it was 
changed, but I can't find a datasheet for that part.

In any case this part isn't very expensive (much cheaper than SED chips!).

Thanks,
