Oooh... That's awesome, Adam... Very cool - especially if you were going to put it in a car or something - but it's almost $300. Ouch.

So, I either needed a VGA display that would display 1080p (the settings on all my existing devices, split from the projector feed), or I could let the scaler in my prepro scale its second output to 720p and use a display with an HDMI input.
I kind of gave up on the issue, and now I just VNC to see the PC (and therefore the DirecTV output via Hauppage HD-PVR), and I can schedule recordings remotely with a browser or the iPhone app.
A small monitor would still be a cool feature at some point. I'll have to see what's available now that two years have passed.

EDIT - Wow, what a difference two years makes...
Newegg has a 20" 1600x900 Hanns with HDMI for $130 and it even has audio:

VESA mount, too. Might make a fun, cheap, little after-Christmas winter project. |
If you want a deal...I have seen 24" going for $159 but you have to be quick...they pop up every few weeks and don't last long.

Picky Picky. First thought is, cake and eat it too.
