It looks like prices are starting to come down for small, HD LCDs.

I wonder if those of you who sell LCD panels can look into what LCD this mini-notebook uses. It would be nice to have a panel smaller than the current 12.1 720p LCD that johnzo sells.

BTW: Here's a review of the mini if you're interested:

Looks like a Toshiba LTD089EXWS

Looks like the responce time is not so great.

This is where I found some data on Toshiba Panels ( http://tmd-product.tmdisplay.com/index_e.cfm )

50ms does seem to be a bit on the high side.
But you have to keep in mind that we use LCDs under non-normal conditions. The LCDs in our projectors are subject to higher temperatures, due to lighting, which heats up the LCD crystals and seems to lower the response time.

Very true. I like the saying... "seeing is believing", although you should "believe 1/2 of what you see, and none of what you hear"...

I'm still interested if anything will come of the 7.2" wxga panel that was found, but apparently no suitable controller was found, as well as no suitable FFC extension....

oh well..i think i'll keep the 550 parked until a cheaper light source and cheap HD panel that's approx. 8" comes around.

Any more news on this panel? This could be a sweet little panel for anybody with a smaller build.
