hey guys, i was looking around over at thinkgeek.com and ran across this little 7" USB Monitor. http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/usb-gadgets/bfa3/ there are two models, one is touchscreen capable. 800x480 resolution...not exactly amazing, but i'm sure there are some possibilities here. plus they are USB, so do not require a second video output of any kind. i dont know if they would be good enough to play games on, but as a marquee display, or small touchscreen input area..it could be pretty cool. |

Wow, can you say DIY wall mini-juke? Pass a cable through the wall to a closet (or in my case, the wall next to my HOT TUB *heheh*) I wonder if it would stand up to outdoor use? Up tight against a wall. |

I had found a similar product on ebay, the Samsung SyncMaster U70. Also, a 7" screen but cheaper than the thinkgeek monitor. No touchscreen though and the Samsung takes two usb connections. I ordered it and got it in about 10 days from S Korea. I'm hoping to incorporate it into my arcade to show controls when I get around to it. Right now I'm using it at work as a second monitor for testing. See my post: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=94907.0 |

thats so cool. I wonder how hard it would be to push game control instructions to that monitor while mame runs the actual game on the main monitor ?? |

Not hard at all Ray. I use Mamewah and Irfanview to do it. |
