So where are the small LCD's?

[rkatapt]

I already have a 2407 and using inventor and other design software takes up the entire screen. I think it would be sweet to have a couple of 6" screens for chat, email, music player, notes, movie, etc. etc while I work without having to bring those apts forward.

I've seen on a site, a company in (Korea?) was making them, but were not available in the US yet. They were cheap too like 50 bucks and had a usb input. All the small screens I seem to find are not housed or are like $200.

Yeah I could get a 17, 19 (dual monitors) or whatever but these little screens (if I can remember correctly) clipped on to your monitor and would look like digital post it notes.

Has anyone seen these around?

I believe this is what you are looking for:

Nanovision MIMO 7"

Wow, those are freakin' hella sweet... holy cow, how come I never came across these before?

Way too expensive. $130-200 for a 7" LCD? Are these people wasted or something?

Such is what happens when you make any technology smaller.

More likely it's because it's a bit of a niche product.

That's them, I swear I remember them being cheaper though. I also seem to remember a spring loaded clip on device for your lcd.

Well considering those in the link don't use a VGA input port for the signal I can see where it's truly a niche product as noted. That's what makes 'em stand out in my mind. They're like remote monitors that don't use actual VGA/DVI inputs so that opens up a whole world of possibilities. And it apparently is powered by the USB connection also.

I might order one at some point just to see what it can do, actually. Already thinking of tons of applications...

I know I am thinking about getting a couple of them. Price seems a bit high though. Maybe they'll get popular nad the price will drop some.

Pretty funny though I just bought my girlfriend a Dell E228 for $140 and it's a 22" screen and I am fixing to buy 7" screens for $130.

Ahh....

The wonders of the supply and demand model.
