REVIEW: Mimo UM-710 USB Monitor

The Mimo UM710’s packing box. The UM710 is their midline product. There are also models that include touchscreens and TV connectors.

The rear of the Mimo, showing the quite durable big honkin’ silver screw that connects the screen to the stand. Loosen this to move the screen up or down or to swivel it into “portrait” mode. The physical controls are shown on the side of the unit, two buttons for brightness and a power button.

Configuring the Mimo from the Windows XP Control Panel. Awwww, It looks like my monitors had a kid, doesn’t it?

The Mimo in action at full brightness and native 800×480 resolution, showing IE8 and some stupid gadget site.
