I really shouldnt be spending this kind of money. With bill collectors breathing down my neck, spending cash on a product thats not really necessary is a bit... much.
But i couldnt help it. I kept thinking up new ways to use it. The primary one, and funnest one is to have a display people can view while i draw on my netbook. That would be awesome for cons. And it would also be a nice way of organizing the tool bars while using my tablet PC. Hell, even for my main PC, i keep thinking about watching movies with it, using it for chat programs while i draw fullscreen. Keeping messengers open while i play vidja games. And i know what your thinking, why the fuck dont i just buy a cheap, small monitor for basically the same price, especially when those monitors will be twice the size?
Portability. Sure i can use any monitor on my netbook, tablet, or main PC. But i will always have to plug it in to the jack, plug in the VGA, and then im very limited. This is the ultimate in portable monitors. Hell, one big question for me, is what eats up more battery life? The USB monitor, or the built in one?
Dear god, i could be spending this money buying comissions, getting a sex toy, or getting myself a new video game. But damnit, even if i never use it, this little bastard is one of the most useful little gadgets i can think of.
Now, if i can buy a tiny monitor for under 50 bucks from a respectable website i would. Even if it didnt run on usb. But they dont. So its tiny, its nich... but its awesome. Hears to hoping i dont regret it late.

Get it anyway. Worst case scenario you find out it sucks, eats battery, and you get rid of it...
