Another PMP device for today. Coming from a Chinese company named Gemei, this HD-660 Portable Media Player
features a 32GB of internal memory (but no external memory slot), a
4.3-inch WQVGA (480 x 272) display, and TV out port. Unlike Evergreen
DN-MP490, HD-660 comes with HD-quality display (720p) which brings
high-definition movie to your pocket. Regarding media supports, this compact device plays video (RM / RMVB / AVI / FLV / MPEG) and audio (MP3 / WMA / FLAC) files.

Measures 123 x 76 x 15mm and weighs 147
grams, Gemei HD-660 PMP comes bundled with a remote control and
external video cable for plugging the device to your television. Not
bad.

Note that HD-660 is available in China land only, but you might have some luck finding it out on eBay. So happy hunting!

Buffalo FTD-W71 External USB Display

Many video editing or 3D animation software nowadays support the usage
of two monitors. However, not many of us, who want to take the full
advantages of those apps, have enough money to buy a secondary display monitor. The solution to this problem is to use an external USB display, which is kind of getting popular lately. One of them is the FTD-W71 USB External Display
from Buffalo. It sports a 7-inch screen, a resolution of WVGA
(800×480), and a contrast ratio of 500:1. Might not be the best choice
outthere, but for its price, you can’t really complaint a lot.

Personally, I think it’d be nice to have one of these external display beside my laptop. I might use it to display my daily schedule or work plan, so I can always remember to finish my job and not spending too much time at Facebook…

contrast ratio of 10,000:1, a 120Hz panel, a response time of 2ms, and
Bluetooth support which allows users to connect their Bluetooth device

features LG’s Color Decanting and EYEQ Green function, along with a USB
port for plugging in an external storage device. Pretty cool.
