Would you have a use for a 7 incher?
-
I came across a review for this Samsung monitor[^] in a magazine. Any one think of a sensible use for the little satellite monitor, especially as it seems to add roughly £100 to the price of similar single monitors. The only thing I can think of would be for my EMail client permanently on view.

I'd want three on each side of the monitor (CP, email, calendar, calculator, chat, help...) I'll have to ask the wife if she'd want several 7 inchers or just the one.
-
no, already got one. could use a 9 incher though. :-D
-
If badly cramped for space perhaps. A stand to hold two normal screens vertically's just as expensive as the gimmic, but otherwise IMO a screen that small's only really useful for mobile/embeddedish applications. You can get a cheap 19" monitor for about the same price, much better if you have the space for it.

I would just get a bigger monitor. I mean for $425 you can get a 25.5".

give me your email, and I'll forward it to some "friends" of mine; they will send you all the information you need to get up to 9 inch. ;P

What a lot of fuss over an eye-catching headline!

This would be cool. Problem is, judging by current model, the extra cost would be prohibitive.

I agree. I use an otherwise 'retired' 17" job. Until you try two monitors, you can't appreciate how much of a difference it makes. Do you know that in an earlier post thread they were talking about nipples and boobies and stuff? Nobody told them off.

As a place for applications that are "always there, never in the way", yeah. Only useful really if said application(s) support that, and space is tight.

I have a mind that is permanently stuck in the gutter and I was about to berate you for coming dangerously close to breaking the kid-sister rule. Bravo Henry, bravo.

I agree. I think this is a bit of a gimmick.
