Mimo Makes Useful Little USB Monitors
Posted on February 2, 2009
A company named Mimo has a line of tiny monitors out that can can be easily connected via USB. There are two different models. Each one has a 7" screen with 800 x 480 pixels resolution but the $200 model also has a touchscreen and a webcam. The monitor without the touchscreen retails for $130.
Wired says the tiny USB powered screens are ideal for little notification windows. You could get a site listing the weather or stocks or something else you are interested on the USB monitor so you won't have to use your big monitor to check data.
Wired says, "So, why would you want a little 7" screen instead of a big extra monitor? Because you can have both. The Minos are hooked up via USB so you don't lose a monitor port."
It's a practical way to add a second monitor without crowding your workspace. Some computer users like to use second monitors for chat, twitter or for setting up widgets.
