The $60 Monitor Worth Having on Your Desk

Startup idea: make a case for this monitor that can allow it to be attached to the side of a laptop or larger monitor. Add an embedded computer to talk to the main computer over USB-C to show Outlook/Teams calendar (day/week view) and or Slack/Mattermost notifications.

O could see a market for an audience that doesm't grok window management.

My mum has access to a network-attached TV tuner (HDHomerun box) but she doesn't use it because she wants Chrome or Stardew Valley full screen. A little monitor that snapped to her regular monitor and she could toss the TV display on would be a gamechanger.

I have one of these in my closet. Got it for my flight simulator, but then my only remaining HDMI port broke. Sad.

It’s now sitting in a pile of other random displays and Frankenstein parts and various raspberry pis, waiting for a project idea to come along.

before it broke what did you use it to display? steam gauges? maps? garmin unit?
