[QUOTE="orencha, post: 475821, member: 11329"] Great idea!!! There are now lots of cheap 7" DPF's (starting from about $70) with low resolution of 480x234. Many of them have a built-in flash memory with auto slideshow function, and a USB interface for PC connection. Some of them can also be used as a clock / calendar display with background JPG image. Sounds to me like an ideal external display for MP. It may be impossible to show real-time content from MP, such as video or live TV... But displaying basic information from MP, such as: * Time and Date; * Local weather information; * Current playing media information such as: Song title / artist / album cover / progress bar / Playing next (for music) or Now / Next EPG for TV... * Recording status Should be more easily implemented...
