Review on Lilliput UM-80 Touchscreen Monitor: Ultra-Sensitive LCD Touch Screen Display by Kazuki Vong

The UM-80/c/t are good little monitors, but they do require some effort to set up. First, they don't support plug-n-play technology; You must download and install "DisplayLink" USB monitor drivers from the DisplayLink website before using them as monitors. If you require touchscreen input support, you must also download and install the "eGalax" touchscreen driver. Once you have the drivers set up, you can place them in Windows like standard monitors: drag and drop them in relation to your other monitors. , or rotate their orientation (portrait, landscape, flip, mirror). They are picky about which USB port they are connected to. I tried plugging mine into an external powered USB hub but they didn't like it and repeatedly cut power (which was annoying because all my monitors were turning off and on for a few seconds each time). I solved this problem by connecting the UM-80/c/t directly to my PC's USB ports, not to a USB hub; They are happy there and don't turn off the electricity anymore. Note that each UM-80/c/t occupies 2 USB ports (for signal + extra power) and since I have 2 of these monitors my PC's 4 USB ports are now connected to these things. Buyers, be careful and make sure your PC has enough USB ports! Despite the issues I encountered while setting it up, they work great. I don't use a touch screen; I only use them as displays for flight simulator multifunction displays. (Anyone buying these things for anything other than virtual attack helicopters and close air support planes?). Note 1: UM-80/c/t has a USB port (which means any of these monitors can be a USB hub). I plugged in a Thrustmaster Cougar MFD controller (and velcroed it to the front) and the MFD controllers are happily (no problem) connected to the monitors. Note 2: There is a retractable, positionable leg/support that retracts into the corner of the monitor and you can use it to make the monitor stand on its own if you wish. The leg contains/covers a stylus that you can use to tap on the touchscreen if you wish. I don't use the foot or the touchscreen, but they're pretty decent.
