I purchased this as a lap top dual screen display hooked to a Telescope taking astronomy pictures. The photo's are viewed here while I do other things with the computer. The low profile fold-up capabilty is unique and perfect for my limited transport and storage needs. The construction is better than I expected and the USB power needs fit my application (AC power is not abundant where I set up telescopes). The picture quality is equivalant to what I get on my lap top and hook up was straight forward on VISTA. The USB cable is not an issue. A dual-port USB came with the monitor but that was too bulky (and long). I replaced it with an old Olympus digital camera single port USB that had the same connector (but much shorter) and it works fine. So far (one month) the UM-71OS has done exactly what I had hoped for. There are no "CON's". The price is well worth the unique features (fold up, USB power, and rotational screen). I would and have recommended it to friends and associates.

This review is from: MIMO UM-710S USB Powered 7 Inch Swivel LCD Screen Mini Display (Personal Computers)

I purchased the Mimo 710S for two applications. At work, I wanted a third monitor to dedicate to Outlook while my other two monitors were used for applications that require more screen real estate. I also wanted some elbow room for my netbook, to give room for notes or a chat window while I worked on the main screen. The Mimo 710S accomplishes both of these things.

Don't let the USB cord fool you--if your computer has USB 2.0 ports, then you only need to use the data cord, not the second integrated power cord. This is great for netbook use if, like me, your number of USB slots is limited.

Setup was simple on my work computer (Vista), a little more challenging on my netbook (XP). For those without an optical drive, the drivers are easily accessible online, and a simple reboot took care of my connection issues on the netbook. The work computer managed it all without a blink.

This is not a large monitor, and it doesn't pretend to be. The resolution is good enough for YouTube, and doesn't take up that much processor to run, even on my netbook. It is good for your ancillary applications that you don't want to have to ALT+Tab to check on, or to have video or something else you're monitoring while you work on the main screen.

I received the monitor quite quickly. It worked out of the box without using the installation disk that came with it. It creates a nice little pocket desktop for holding my IM clients, mp3 program, clock, ventrilo, and any other small utility programs you might run. Also, I use one monitor for my PC and my multiple game systems. This little monitor lets me keep track of my messages and email while using my main monitor for things like console gaming or watching a blu-ray movie.

The only downside, which isn't due to a specific property of the monitor, is that you cannot mouse over to the monitor while in a full screen game without alt-tabbing. Even so, I've found it to be quite useful.
