Nanovision MIMO 7” USB connected and powered LCD mini monitor
USB monitors aren’t new. They’ve been here for a while but are yet to take off in a big way. Nanovision’s MIMO series LCD monitors do give a push, but sadly they’re just 7-inchers so you can’t replace standard LCDs with them. Nanovision MIMO 7” USB connected and powered LCD mini monitors are “a friendly and affordable way to add productivity” to notebook and desktop computers. According to the firm, the MIMO monitors are ideal for dedicating visual workspace to applications that are used at a glance, such as instant messaging and calendars. MIMO is also perfect for Gadgets and Widget applications like news and weather monitoring and multimedia playback such as digital TV, video conferencing, MP3s, photos and more.
Using USB for both connectivity and power, Nanovision is able to offer MIMO at consumer price points. The 700 series starts with the UM-710 7”. Priced at $129, it supports 800×480 resolution and both landscape and portrait orientation and either mirror or extend display modes.
The MIMO model UM-730 adds a complete videophone with 1.3M Webcam, MIC and earphone jack, and the UM-750 features a Touch Screen. No word on pricing of these two models.
