Anyone used one of these portable monitors that you connect with

Bumping because I'm interested

alternatively does anyone know of an extremely low power monitor that will use less than 10w?

Get those laptop screens
+
LVDS inverter + controlboard with HDMI/DVI output
=
VOILA low powered display

You can get the lvds inverter/controlboard for about $15 on ebay. Plus $30-50 for cheap laptop screen (or you can get lucky and find cheaper)

I had no idea such a thing existed. Interesting.

Except... what's the use-case for this?

I had one a few years ago because I wanted something I could carry around to classes. It wasn't very good at video playback, things would get pretty choppy, but that was a few years ago and it used USB 2 so newer ones could very well be better. The real reason I got rid of it was that even having the driver installed would break the graphics switching on my nvidia optimus laptop, whenever it tried to switch to the dGPU the thing would crash. So I gave it to a friend for like 20 bucks and then he stopped using it because even having the drivers installed broke SLI.

Yes its trash, literally any peripherals like screens, speakers powered by usb are trash. Low resolution of the screen makes it double trash

I have the Asus MB169B+, which is a 16" 1080p portable monitor. I use it to create a dual monitor setup for my laptop that is easy to travel with. I highly recommend it, although its best for reading or browsing, rather than media consumption.

cool. how much does it decrease your laptops battery life?
i would use it to web browse whilst my laptop screen plays netflix in the background
