I've seen one similar to this in the flesh (pciture was in middle)

Well neat, considering one at some point for rear view/next turn info

On a screen that small, it should be fine for BIG stuff. If I ever do get one, it will simple show a coloured arrow against a black background, full screen - so readability won't be an issue, it'll just be big arrow in the mirror.

Yeah.. Those screens are popular up there I think - that's where I saw one - I know a guy who sells them in stockport if your interested

But yeah, you could have a ton of info pop up on them, and it's ideal so long as it's easy to glance at and take the info in seeing as you look at the mirror every few seconds anyway..
