ScreenDuo

Hardware Secrets Golden AwardScreenDuo is a new chapter on motherboard history. It is a high-quality 2.5” TFT LCD display (1.9” x 1.45”, 48.96 mm x 36.72 mm) with 320x240 resolution that allows you to remotely control and manage your PC, and can be used to watch pictures, be alerted when new e-mails arrive at your inbox, be alerted when news are posted on your favorite website (thru RSS), see your schedule at Outlook Calendar, see weather forecast, etc. In summary, ScreenDuo is an auxiliary display for your PC.

It is connected to the motherboard thru an USB cable and it has six buttons: a power button, a navigation pad, an enter button, a return button and two customizable buttons. You can configure all ScreenDuo functions thru the software that comes with it.

We were really impressed by the quality of this screen: it is a real high-end display. On the pictures below the screen quality appears to be not so good, but this is the side effect of using a digital camera to take picture of this screen. Believe in us, its quality is far better than that.

The only drawback we found about this display is that it doesn’t play videos. If you use it to play videos, it launches Media Player on your system and only shows a progress bar and Media Player controls on the display (see Figure 15, where we launched a video clip).
