Samsung SyncMaster U70: Name-Brand 7-inch USB Side Display

John Mahoney — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 12:00:00 EST

Samsung seems to be the first major LCD-maker to honor the public's apparently unquenchable demand for mini 7-inch USB-driven monitors.

Samsung snuck out the U70 in Europe during CES, where it's available for around €99 ($127). Just like similar offerings from Buffalo, D-Link,Mimo and the rest, the display is 800 x 480, swivel-able and draws its signal via USB. No word yet on US availability. [Akihabara News]

Buffalo's FTD-W71 7-inch USB Monitor Swivels For Better Buddy-Listing

It won't instantly give you Jason Chen's tactical blogging situation room, but Buffalo's 7-inch USB display does something nice: it swivels vertically, making it even better for a secondary IM display on your desk.

For now it looks like the FTD-W71 is Japan-only, but hopefully it won't stay that way. For everyone else, there's the rebranded Nanovision Mimo, which we reviewed a few weeks ago. D-Link's CES-launched mini-monitor is a rebranded version of the same.

Like the rest of 'em, Buffalo's has an 800x480 widescreen resolution, sucks video entirely from USB, and appears to only work with Windows. [Akihabara News via CG]

Mimo 7-Inch USB Displays Make Your Desktop Look Like a Battleoid Cockpit

These 7-inch Mimo monitors from Korean manufacturer Nanovision look like the perfect mini-displays to set up widgets, chat windows, and other software that doesn't require too much real estate—perfect to make your awesome computer rig even more awesome. The good: They only require a USB 2.0 port. The better: As you can see in the gallery, they can rotate and one model is a touchscreen. The best: they are really cheap. And the bad? Sadly, they are Korea-only for now.

The basic model is the UM-710, which goes for just $78. The UM-750 adds a touchscreen, a built-in webcam, and a DMB television tuner for only $147. We want. [Funshop Korea Technabob]

Cowon N3 PMP has 7-inch Screen, GPS, DivX/XviD Support

Jason Chen — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 15:20:52 EST

As dapreview points out, this just-announced Cowon N3 looks quite like the Cowon Q5W we reviewed a few weeks ago. The most noticeable difference comes from the fact that this has a 7-inch screen as opposed to the Q5's 5-incher. Other than that, there's no internal memory—you have to use one of two SDHC slots to add storage—and GPS and DMB (portable TV) support. The good news is that this does support DivX/XviD and all the other video and audio codecs the Q5W does, meaning that you'll never have to go a second without entertainment. Ever. [Dapreview]

Portable Wii LCD Screen Heavy on Portability, Light on Usefulness

Jason Chen — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 18:40:26 EDT

Sure, this 7-inch portable Wii LCD screen contains its own IR sensor bar, but how fun is it to play Wii on a 7-inch screen? Can you imagine your family gathered around a campsite, huddled around a fire, smacking each other in the face when your mother swings back to serve?

Luckily it's only 14,800 Yen ($119), which isn't too bad a price to pay for a 7-inch LCD. Plus, in Japan, everyone crowding around a tiny object is pretty much standard practice. – Jason Chen
