I ordered the 3M MPro120 this morning, should have it tomorrow so I'll
report back once I've tested it. I plan to use it just for watching
movies and conference videos on hotel room walls so even if the
display is a bit fuzzy it will be better than having my laptop sat on
my knee.

If I can get randr working properly I'll be able to carry on working
while watching as well.
