Mimo Mini USB Monitor: extra screen pixels, low on budget, only one cable!
Sunday, January 24th, 2010
Problem is an entire secondary monitor comes with its own needs like requiring a separate power cord or perhaps an additional video card.
The MIMO USB Monitor
A single USB connection from your computer gets you an instant high-resolution secondary display. This awesome display is perfect for your IM client, widgets, PC gaming tools, your email, a spreadsheet, your PhotoShop tools, or even video! Not only do these displays enhance productivity, they look great!
The single USB connection, combined with a weight of only 1.3 pounds, means the Mimo monitor is ultra portable and cost-effective, as no expensive extra video cards are required.
It’s PC and Mac compatible, altough you’ll need to buy separate drivers to enable touchscreen features on Intel-based Macs (drivers are around $30).
There are three models you should be looking at:
MIMO UM-720S Touch Screen USB Powered 7 inch Swivel LCD Screen Mini Display
MIMO UM-710S
The original utility of the Mimo gets even more portable with the innovative slider model. Almost half the thickness of the iMo monitor, the slider features a folding stand that also serves to protect the screen. Available for US $ 149.99.
