[757labs] Raspberry Pi display...

[Michael Buckbee]

All I saw was a terrifying Yankee Candle air freshener, but in all
seriousness that is way cool.

I poked around on the internet but didn't find any 7" LCDs with HDMI for
less than about $170.

If you really wanted something crazy you could hook a Pico projector up to
the Raspberry and project the image up onto the windshield so you get the
reflection in your eyes.
