Anyone seen these? Wonder if that would be a feasible setup for quad boxing on one computer.... I would imagine that KeyClone would possibly need an update of sorts to have the capability of hotkey swapping between monitors. They are CHEAP too like $78 for one of them!!!! There is a touch screen model, maybe bind some sapper charges to a large button? lol

WOW! I'd buy a few just because they look cool :) I like the concept of multiboxing with them, but I personally prefer my "command centre" layout. I'd love to use a few of these screens at work, it would be so damn easy to keep track of certain tasks/apps.

Winamp on one of the little touchscreen ones would be pretty cool. If only they were just a little bigger.

You can skin Winamp / etc to work as a touch screen with better UI elements, designed for touch. Bigger fonts, buttons, etc. I have one in my car that I have been running for years. Would be nice to have these available years ago - Xenarc touchscreens were (are) like $300+ and they were not USB. You don't need ultra GPU power to display 2d graphics and the fact that it is bus powered (?) is great too.

I'd be interested to see if you can get any sort of decent framerate on one of these. It'd be kinda cool to 5box on a laptop, with 4 of these attached to the side of the main screen :)

That would be nice. Where do we submit our suggestions to Blizz? (rhetorical - heading over there now)

ive just ordered 2x Samsung SPF-105P. I'll give them a try, and if they dont work out I could always use them as photo frames :thumbup:

I was looking at these yesterday cause they would definitely be cool to have off to the side to bring up some of the apps you don't normally use on your desktop because you are out of rel estate. I also took a look at the samsung ones the poster above mentioned a little bit more pricey than the MIMO's but for now it would be a solution since the MIMO is not really available state side. Let us know what the Samsung ones work out.
