USB/Firewire monitors...?

[Drenlin]

Has anyone ever tried one of these? I've seen both USB and Firewire types...usually 7". It seems like they could make for some creative desktop extensions...especially the touchscreen versions.

I wonder how many you can put on a system? They have an internal GPU, so they don't take up any of your computer's GPU slots. They do use USB power though, so imagine you'd run out of juice at some point unless you have a powered hub.

i think that they are conected to each other as a serial chain by usb.
so you dont have to worry about the power on usbs.

A serial chain would mean you have to worry more about the power than if they were all in different ports...
