    Default Little USB monitor

    I saw these pop up on Giz/etc a while back, but this is the first place I've seen them for sale. They're a little pricy, but are just oozing with potential. Little 7" displays that run entirely off one USB line.

    specs, for those who haven't seen them:
    Display size - 7"
    Display resolution - 800 x 480
    Brightness - 350 cd/m2
    Contrast ratio - 400:1

    Tons of potential is right! Makes modding a screen into your computer a ton easier. +rep for a great find.
    I would really like my Thermaltake prizes... Thanks everyone for my wonderful prizes!

    Thanks! I think I might actually be getting one for my fileserver build...together with a digitizer, I'd have a 7" touch display for ~$150. Throw in a tiny keyboard, and things could get interesting.

    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
