MIMO UM-710 & MIMO UM-740 USB Sub-Monitors
![MIMO UM-710 & MIMO UM-740 USB Sub-Monitors [Yet More Auxiliary Displays]](http://tftscdn2.nexus404.com/Blog/thumbnailimages/alt/mimo-um-710-mimo-um-740-usb-sub-monitorsTFTSThumb220153.jpg)
At the risk of turning TFTS into sub-monitor central what with having just recently covered the Century Plus One LCD-8000U and the Samsung SyncMaster U70 auxiliary displays, along comes another two USB sub-monitors in the form of MIMO’s UM-710 and UM-740.
Offering the same USB connectivity as the two aforementioned sub-displays – allowing you to ‘bolt-on’ one or more at your leisure (depending on just how many USB ports you have going spare) – both the MIMO UM-710 (pictured above) and the UM-740 (pictured below) sport 7″ 800 x 480 resolution displays offering 352cd/m2 brightness and 400:1 contrast ratio and, like the above linked Century Plus One LCD-8000U, both offer Windows and Mac compatibility (though it appears that whilst the MIMO UM-710 offers Mac compatibility by default the MIMO UM-740 will take a little work to make it as Mac-friendly in requiring a third-party touchscreen driver). Of course, this is still better that what Samsung’s SyncMaster U70 has to offer Mac users on account of the U70 being a Windows only device.
In terms of difference between the two new MIMO sub-monitors, as you may have already gathered from the above, the MIMO UM-740 offers touchscreen functionality whereas the MIMO UM-710 doesn’t whilst the UM-740 also offers up an integrated microphone and webcam.
The MIMO UM-710 sub-monitor will set you back just shy of $130 whilst, if you fancy a little touchscreen goodliness, the MIMO UM-740 will set you back just short of $200.
UPDATE: Well, having started this post by saying we’re in danger of becoming sub-monitor central we see that Piyush has just posted about yet another sub-monitor – the D-Link SideStage – whilst I was publishing this. Talk about coincidence…

if any of my fellow UK mimo searchers are looking for these, i bought from http://www.carcomputer.co.uk – they’ve got good service, ordered mine late monday and it arrived 9:30am the next morning.
the price i paid for it is very reasonable for a 7 inch monitor – it is a bit of desktop luxury but as a designer i actually find it really useful to shift all of my photoshop palettes onto a smaller touchscreen display for easier access.
