[QUOTE="jonnyd, post: 396438, member: 31029"] Yeah, I did wonder whether your name meant I was on the wrong track. Here's a wild idea for you though. I always use a dual monitor setup, at work and at home. I am very used to it and miss it a lot when I'm on the road. I have vaguely looked at an old LCD screen I have, and wonderd if it could be adapted to be attached to the lid of my notebook (an HP laptop, but the theory is the same). The perfect solution would be that it is stored face down on top of the lid for transport, then removed attached to the side of the existing screen for use. A very short cable between it and the RGD port is all I'd need for the signal. The lcd part of a screen is pretty small - you wouldn't need very much 'packing' around it. Power is obviously an issue, but clever chaps like you can work that out :D I would rip your arm off for one of those. [ATTACH=full]5870[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
