Came across this a month or so back, kept meaning to post it:<br>

$99, a USB-connected 7" LCD monitor. The cool part is it runs completely<br>
off from USB, so no additional power source or video cable. Basically it<br>
has a self-contained video card on the board itself. So no mucking about<br>
with an extra video out, or trying to convert signals for some screen you<br>
salvaged from something else. Just plug it in!<br>
<br>
There are also some other models with touchscreen capability, albeit for a<br>
bit more ($199-$229):<br>

I thought of these again the other night playing Orbiter. There's an addon<br>
to orbiter that allows you to have an "external" MFD, basically a new<br>
window with just the MFD graphics for it. This would be perfect for that,<br>
because you could just move the mfd over to this small, second monitor,<br>
and your primary would be completely unobstructed.<br>
<br>
Food for thought. Now if only they made these w/ a square LCD!<br>
