Bedside Display
-
How small a monitor can one use as MM display? I’ve built a couple using larger monitors so I understand process but wondering if you run in to problems below a certain size.
I have an all-in-one Pi and 7" screen and wondering if I could do some sort of bedside display. -
@ankonaskiff17 I have a bedside dispaly using a 4.3 inch display that works perfectly

I am also working on a smaller one with a 3.5 screen that has just the clock and temperature on it to fit in an enclosure in my shed

@ankonaskiff17 I’ve got a 7 inch that I’m using as my display. It sets on my office desk and rotates through various modules (MMM-Carousel is a backbone module for me as a result). The biggest thing with a smaller display is that you do have to be cognizant of how big the text is based off of where you’re expecting to view it (and how bad your vision is) and also that you can only have so much on-screen at any point.
