Sold in the guise of a music playing digital photo frame, the 800×480 UFOTO will also act as a “Sub-Display”, letting you either mirror the computer’s main screen, extend it, or just select a part to display.

The specifications list only a USB port for connection, so I assume that it uses some kind of DisplayLink-like tech to send the video signal via USB.

The metal frame also has slots for the major memory card formats. Whether this is actually useful or not depends largely on the price. If it’s cheap, it’s a surefire winner.

The trouble is, you can pick up a whole 22″ LCD monitor for not much more than $200.00 USD, and most LCD picture frames are over $100. If it’s $50, I’ll buy one, even if it does look like a turquoise Etch-a-Sketch.
