    If you've got the code to program it, sure it's a nice size, but it has no standard input that makes it an extra display:

    UEXT connector to interface with any of our development boards with UEXT connector

    I have been eyeing this off http://www.shoppingsquare.com.au/p_8969_Nanovision_UM710_Mimo_USB_7_Monitor
    for my scratch build but unless I can find an interface to monitor 4 pumps and 12 fans its pretty useless for what I want it for. Just for real time watercooling monitoring temps fan speed etc.
    Its pretty cool though having a quick read it looks like it sends the signal over usb no vga or dvi cable needed. :D

    I've sent the company an email to see if they have any suggestions/methods for VGA use or even USB use. Worth a shot incase they happen to know something, il report back when i get a response :)

    Do you use an ASUS board?

    Make the small display a second monitor then run AI Suite with Fan Xpert 'full screen' on the second display? Should save time coding something manual.

    No gigabyte P67A-UD7 B3. coding is beyond me at moment( trying to get motivated to learn) was hoping to get some pre made control center to neaten things up rather than a heap of fan controlers :sigh:

    Update: They replied to my email, unfortunatly its not possible to use any of their LCD products as secondary monitors, nor get any form of adapter to convert them to accept any external video input, to their knowledge.

    Just incase anyone was wondering. Still, worth a try.

    You might want to have a play with Samurize... I've not used it myself for a long time, but it looks as if people have managed to get it running on Win7.

    It does indeed work with with 7 x64, you night to right click the installer/exe, set it to xp compatability mode and check "run as administrator", ive been playing with it this last couple of evenings since i seen the screen nexxo has in his case! Im using displaylink to turn my ipad into a 3rd screen, and Samurize to make a sexy hardware/status monitor that will fit on the ipad.

    Things are going pretty well at the moment, struggling a little bit to get it drawing graphs of cpu usage, but ive only been on it a couple of nights so still finding my feet. :thumb:
