This is the largest size I could find, but if you contacted them, I do not see any reason why they could not make it any size.

I think they are more popular with the eeepc than desktop monitors

If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

personalized orders always cost more though.. plus they'd have to design a model just for me, doubt it's gonna happen.  I did see this one thing though.. that works via usb, wonder if that would work.

I also found this

It only goes to 20 inches on an LCD which would be too small for your monitor.
