Behind the screen

Of course behind every LCD you have a computer doing the hard work but the technology to do this is getting smaller and smaller, with the intel atom processors, you can have a computer that's only a few inches across.

Review display System's new compact atom design is just 102 x 146mm so fits behind a 5.7" LCD screen for highly compact computing.

This system also has the advantage of minimal power requirements; it uses just 14W, where most desktop computers will use in the region of at least 10 times that, some even exceeding 100 times that!

This makes the board fantastic in a lot of personal and industrial display systems such as sealed units, places where space is an issue and where portability is required. Not to mention, it's a fully functional unit on its own and very capable, the lower power consumption can make it hugely useful and cost effective anywhere!

Bulletproof LCDs

I wouldn't trust it enough to stand on the other side though ;)
