BTC LCD Displays

[Anddos]

I am looking in to purchasing BTC lcd price display hardware, so i dont have to keep switching from my games to websites, i can keep an eye on the price while i play games etc..., and no i wont run 2 pcs or 1 laptop or 1 pc.., i want something seperate that plugs in to a usb slot or something..

What are you thinking would look not gay?! A ticker is just that a ticker for prices..

[Anddos]

is there a smaller consumer version?

"Here check this awesome as fuck ticker that you can make yourself! Check this shit out"

"neeeeeeeeew dats gai i dun wun to us3 dat cos it lookith liketh a pika fraim."

[bitllionaire]

you can create a low cost yourself with an arduino or a raspberry py
you can buy the lcd of your choice

This should be in the market place.

why dont u just install an app that overlays over everything you are doing. I am sure there is an app that does this. and is it really that hard to alt + tab and look at the price? play the game in windowed mode and have a BTC ticker that updates in your system tray.

I can imagine someone hanging this on their wall. Great decor.

[CoinsForTech]

Pretty neat idea!

[bitgeek]

Looks nice, although why not just buy a small portable lcd like this one?

You could use it for much more than just BTC price! For instance have communicators on it while you're gaming, watch bitcoin charts and so on.

simply search "cheap wifi android phone"

then install a bitcoin ticker on the phone.. and your done

[HCLivess]

Phone? Why not use Rasberry Pi? But maybe you're right, phone is better for casual peasants. 

[Meuh6879]

yes, buy a refurbished smartphone (like galaxy s3) ... download app and wifi and plug to charger permanently.
more cheap, more simple.

A cheap android phone could do the work,too.But,that homemade price ticker looks more cool! 

[ticoti]

Actually the android phone is the easiest but the arduino or raspberry is the coolest  

[R2D221]

yes but that looks pritty gay,

Don't worry, electronic devices have notion of neither sex nor gender.

google android watch forgive my 5 minute edit to change display to a ticker, but having a watch with an android app on it is cheaper and easier than a raspberry pi and a screen. plus less cables are required

Now now... Don't be picky on the aesthetics. If it does its job well then there shouldn't be a problem. If you didn't want it to look 'gay' then you should build one yourself.

I don't see why you could not use your phone, ipad, ipod or other similar device. There is no real reason to need a device specifically to display the price of bitcoin. With iDevices you can even change the settings so that the display does not shut off automatically after x amount of time.

With that being said it is kind of unhealthy to be monitoring the price of bitcoin that closely.

Get a raspberry pi.

[CozyLife]

Get a programmable LED display and have it pull data from whatever exchange you'd like. It could make things easier to have different exchange rates scrolling accross. Personally, I have the "Litecoin" widget on my android. Despite its name, it allows you to pull data from various exchanges and it's not just Litecoin data either.

Exactly my thoughts. Thank you for pointing that out. I just can't express how stupid people appear when they use the word 'gay' in a demeaning or negative sense, ha.
