Would you have a use for a 7 incher?
-
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".

no, already got one. could use a 9 incher though. :-D
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

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.
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.

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.

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.
