Have an idea for Mini monitor....
Last week i bought a Samsung Digital Photo Frame 7" and when reading the manual, i found that can also work as a Mini Monitor as a 2nd USB monitor. (I don't know if it can work also as 3rd, 4th etc....)
As i'm on vacations, away from my cockpit, i connected the photoframe to my laptop and i had a 2nd expanded monitor. I downloaded PM's GC demo and i saw that was working acceptable.
Because the laptop is not a high performance and does not have a special VGA, i had below 150points in PM's test. Maybe this will be the same in my normal PCs, i don't know.
But.... for lower EICAS a digital photo frame 7",8" or 10" will be a very nice and cheap solution (7"= ~55euros), than to buy special VGAs costing more than 300-400 euros.
Maybe there are more products like this in the market, having best 3D graphics performance.

Hi guys,
I have also looking around photoframes to using it in FMCs.
There is some photoframes, you can also connect to videocards tv-out, not only Usb.

Been thinking along those line myself, think the 7" is a tad small. Been keeping an eye-out for 10" versions, but as yet :cry: I've not been able to locate any. Here in the UK, I've been looking in PC World, Comet, Jessops, Currys....,,none as yet.
Thanks guys.....John P.

Check also this 10" here : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-SPF1...474840-1655917
They must have the label "Mini monitor function"

Re: Have an idea for Mini monitor....
Looks like there are quite a few versions that'll work.
SPF-72H
SPF-75H
SPF-83H
SPF-85V
SPF-83H
SPF-83P
SPF-105P
SPF-107H
I'm sure there are other versions. The 7" is 800x400, 8" is 800x600, 10.2" is 1024x600.
Looking at the specs on the SPF-71 version the resolution is too crappy to use and I can't see the option for mini display so don't get that version.
The pricing on these will make doing a glass cockpit or faking instruments with an LCD pretty cost effective. I saw one of the 8" versions on ebay for around $55USD.

Even have 10.4" for those needing a display for a G1000.
