Re: 1.8 inch LCD moniter

"I do not think it's suitable for HMD or at least not
for something discretely mounted infront of your

At this point I am not so concerned about a discrete
display. If I look like I was just rescued from the
borg collective I don't mind. The "borgy" look is one
of the things that origionaly attracted me to wearable
computing. I am mainly concerned about price.
