Will add my comments/review from yesterday:

This is not a competitor to a traditional regular sized monitor. It's for an already cluttered desk, for portability, and for systems that are already maxxed out on monitors.

I have a 7" Doublesight at the office, to accompany my two 17" Dell LCDs. I bought it because I thought it may be useful for tossing an excel file or a PDF on from time to time when the two screens were not enough. Yeah, too small. Not really size wise, but resolution wise. All our apps have about 400,000 miles of toolbars, so the usable area was minimal, if there at all. So after that, I thought maybe I could keep my Outlook on the little screen - also no dice, because I use Xobni (www.xobni.com, amazing tool), so again, too much real estate taken up by toolbars and side bars.

So now, the Doublesight serves as two things: Primarily, it keeps my AIM instant message window. Useful, because I communicate with my co-workers via AIM frequently. Also, for Hulu/Youtube when I am less than productive.

This DoubleSight has a higher resolution than mine (1024x600 vs 800x480), so it may be more useful for actual work than for AIM. 1024x600 is netbook resolution, right? At least the smaller ones?

Additionally, these can be used in portrait or landscape.

The software is OK, not a memory/processor hog but it definitely has a footprint. It runs pretty well, sometimes it'll drop some frames if I'm using it for full screen video. Not sure if that's simply because it's USB (though I'd think 480 mbps should be plenty, but who knows) or because the computer isn't the fastest/newest (2gb DDR, Core 2 Duo from a few years ago, sorry I can't be more specific).

For $100, if you have a reason to have a small screen and not a full sized monitor, this is a good buy, and I would recommend.

Stupid 1k character limits :( - Sorry for the triple post.

And to reiterate what I said in the old thread, the coupon also works on the DS-90UC which is the model with a built in webcam, I think it's otherwise identical, price is higher, but in case that functionality is useful to you the coupon knocks $50 off.

I ordered the webcam-less model on Tuesday, and had a tracking number already on Wednesday.. Pleased so far. If you have a use for this type of small portable USB monitor, I think this one might be the best available on the market, and with shipped price at about $116 I could find no others selling near that price. They're $130 minimal on ebay.

I'm in for one! Thanks!! Will make a great addition to my 24" Monitor. Since I only need space for gadgets and such. Don't want to power a larger screen than I need for it.

THANKS!!

@joemcse: Received mine today. Look good. Not a very wide viewing angle. It does work with just using 1 USB port (although it has 2 on PC side). Can't play videos on it. But pretty sweet little side monitor for tools. Also can rotate montior for Portrait view.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
