Friday, October 10thCentury Japan launches 4.3-inch USB LCD screen
Century Japan has recently introduced a secondary LCD screen, the LCD-4300U, that is just 4.3 inches in size and connects entirely to users' desktop or notebook PCs via a USB 2.0 port. Meant as an add-on display for secondary programs such as an IM program, media player or toolbox, the 800x480 resolution display has a built-in and adjustable stand. Provided users have enough desk space and USB ports, Century Japan claims up to seven LCD-4300Us can be connected to a single PC or Intel-based Mac.
The LCD-4300U uses an LED backlight to achieve a brightness rating of 200cd/m2. The LCD will be available in Japan in mid-November, priced at the equivalent of nearly $200. No word has been given on whether the LCD is meant for North American consumption. [via Slashgear]

OMG....why?
Why the hell would you spent $200 on something that size that has no other utility value?
If you need a second screen at work or home then get a nice sized screen that actually gives you more value.
cool
That is actually cool. Especially for notebook users.
ooooooo!!!
A second display for the iPod Touch, or iPhone!!!
prob'ly not, but hey!
Now THERE'S a market potential!
For PC users
This is probably targeted at PC users, who just love to have their apps take up their whole screen, rather than tile a bunch of windows on their main screen...
