I wonder if this would work with DSLRs as an external monitor to view your photos?
This would be nice to have on the laptop. Definabtly wouldn’t work with a dSLR though (cameras an end point not a host).
Thanks for the post, been looking for where to buy one for a while. Though it would work great for palettes, it’s probably going to be used more for watching DVD’s or online video content of your choice.

Works a treat!
Oorrrrr, you could just hit the TAB key a time or two to hide your pallets, or even the pull-down menu bar up top. Chances are when you want something, there’s usually a key command for that.
