For those of you who (like me) feel claustrophobic working off one, single notebook display might find a wee bit of comfort in this 4.3-inch USB-powered LED-backlit monitor. It’s capable of pushing out 800×480 pixels at 24 bits of color and has a little kickstand in the back to allow it to rest gingerly atop your desk.
The thing costs just under $200, which seems a little steep to a cheapo like me. I might be able to go for, say, a 5.6- or 7-inch version at $200, though. My dream has always been to have a super thin USB-powered monitor that clipped to the top of my existing notebook monitor. Looks like things are headed in the right direction.

I want it. Actually I want about half a dozen. I’d love to rig these up around a big central monitor and have an application running in each one. Like digital Post-It notes.
Or for 200 bucks you buy a full sized monitor to sit on your desk, 22″ widescreen anyone?
Eric, for those looking for portability, a 22″ monitor and cables doesn’t pack up with a netbook nearly as well.
…on pure value, you’re absolutely right, though.
It’s a shame it does not work with anything unix-based except OSX.
