The important part is not the interface, but the space it takes up. The
quality sucks on here, but it's really small. In fact the quality is so
bad, small text is impossible to read. I guess their target market is
"those who play fast-moving games and won't notice the sucky quality".

I'll try to find a non-sucky small monitor, preferably with a VGA or
DVI input, not composite.
