      Hi all. First time poster hoping to get started on my first MM.

      For various reasons, I’d like my MM to be as small as possible. I’d like to display the following modules:

      • Calendar
      • Weather
      • News

      I’ve also been thinking about using Hello-Lucy to hide/show additional modules.

      Given these requirements, what do you think is the smallest sized display I could reasonably use while not having issues with screen space?

      Also, given that I’d almost certainly like a display that’s smaller than most conventional monitors, would I be alright just buying a small LCD panel from Aliexpress or similar? I’ve thought about just using the official 7” touchscreen but this seems like an expensive way to do it.

      Thanks so much!

        @joshajh I used the official screen for a long time for a desktop viewer.

        The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

          Thanks! You didn’t find it too small?

              @joshajh No. I rotated between single modules and ran it portrait mode even.
