Spotted that link off /. the other day. Any word on quality? The long &
short of it appears to be a glorified opaque projector and a "low-cost" 2-4"
LCD screen. I imagine the brightness would be real bad / low.

Another thought I had today (thinking about how to make a canopy for my
spitfire): has any one made / found a cheap way to reuse laptop panels as
monitors? Spare / used panels can be had for less then $100 on eBay and I'm
thinking that a couple of 10" panels for left and right views in lieu of a
window would be real sweet.
