Looking at purchasing a MIMO 720-S to use as the MAIN/ONLY display for my computer build. Wondering if anyone has done this and if so how it worked.
I have Windows 7 installed and XBMC on a FM1 board with a AMD A6-3500 CPU and 4 gigs of DDR3-1066 IIRC.
Thoughts would be appreciated.
My concerns are due in part to the quote below from a review found here: http://www.slashgear.com/nanovision-mimo...w-2053124/
I am looking to be able to use the touchscreen to navigate XBMC entirely without a main/larger screen. I dont plan on watching ANY kind of movies, just be able to view XBMC's music interface to play my FLAC files and navigate within it to select songs, skip tracks, etc

Quote:Past that, though, the 720-S proves as useful as you’d expect a second, dedicated display to be. Nanovision are clear to list its limitations – there’ll be no DirectX or hardware-accelerated 3D gaming, since you’re dealing with a software graphics card emulation, PowerDVD and WinDVD are non-starters, and nor will they show your boot-up or BIOS screen – but beyond that it’s down to your imagination. As we found with the first-gen MIMOs, the 720-S works very well as a dedicated Twitter, IM or email display, only now with the bonus that you can quickly tap a link or message to view it, rather than mouse across. Since the resolution is 800 x 480 WVGA, video playback doesn’t exceed the capabilities of the DisplayLink drivers meaning you can use it to keep an eye on webcam feeds or YouTube footage; alternatively it’s a handy place to keep iTunes or another mediaplayer app, quickly jabbing at the screen to skip through tracks.
