7inch TFT , any ideas

[jay2472000]

Ok, so I got bored and had an old 7 inch TFT display from some el cheapo car dvd kit we bought. I hacked into it and its now AC powered and I can get video into it. The only thing is, I am using a 9600gt to drive it and my main display, and I can either 1) Clone the desktop over to the small monitor, or I can 2) stretch the desktop. Neither option is worthwhile to be honest. I was hoping someone could direct me to something a bit more useful for this little monitor, maybe some software to display my temps, etc on it. Also, I have to use Nvidias control panel to enable it, I dont see an option in Windows like previously when I ran dual monitors with dual video cards (Im assuming since only one card is plugged in, Windows doesn't see 2 output options) Any help would be cool, Im just kind of looking for a use for this little guy.

I used to have a 7" lcd TV, vga input, as a second display doing just what you describe. Have a look at
