yeah cyber - almost i was to finalize buying the Asus 1015PN-pu27 or acer aspire one ao522 netbooks ....both are full HD capable with hdmi and VGA and in the usd$500 range [including import duty]....and in small form factor but the issue was that i already had a 3d capable nettop[asrock ion 3D] so i was very unhappy doing so.
i'd purchased the VGA-to-PAL converter a long time back and then i put it away in my 'electronic dump' as it was not being used....then the surprise was in store for me...
but this usd$40 VGA-to-PAL converter i noticed had the "VGA pass-through".....after some settings and tweaking it made z800/headplay/generic china HMD totally plug'n'play.....something i wanted so desperately....
Now i can enjoy z800 with my nettop as truly plug'n'play....
Trust me cyber - of all the hype around Sony HMD/Vuzix 1200 etc - z800 holds it's own charm being light weight / usb powered with optics that are so cool that i can keep wearing it for hours but no strain to eyes......which i do not think any HMD has so far been able to achieve besides z800.....
all eMagin has to go is to upgrade their OLED panel to OLED-XL or source it from Sony and improvise keeping the same form factor to emerge 'winner' still....i leave their engg. deptt to fig. out how they ;d use Sony OLED panels on their eye-pieces....
but again - z800 holds it's own sway...................
