    The VGA port or in some cases a HDMI port if you have one.

    10" monitors? I don't think they make them that small. It's hard to find anything less than 19" today.

    Why do you want a 10" monitor?

    It seems like it defeats the purpose of a monitor.

    it's a second monitor that you can take with you in a bag for mobile needs that go over the one-monitor needs :)

    doesn't defeat the purpose of a monitor.

    i have two such tiny monitors, they're cute and useful for quite some things.

    they're usb, btw.. that defeats some of their purposes (namely, can't use them to support some server, or so.. which would be so uber-cool.. :))
