Mimo 710-S Monitor Flips Shut to Go Portable

Mark Wilson — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:00:00 EDT

If you're looking for a tiny, extra monitor, Nanovision makes some utilitarian Mimo-branded gear. But now their latest 710-S monitor adds a bit of flare to the mix.

The Mimo 710-S is the "Mobile Slider" edition of their existing line, a 7-inch, 800x480 USB monitor that opens like a clamshell and rotates 90 degrees depending on your viewing preference. The catch? It costs $20 more than the existing Mimo 710 to attain this new portable formfactor. So if you're not planning to travel with it, you can probably save a few bucks on an older model.

Look for the 710-S when it's released later this month for $150. [Mimo via Everything USB via DVICE via Engadget]

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]

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]
