M1 review

I've had the M1 Personal Display from Liquid Image for two weeks now,
and although I haven't worn it for more than half an hour at a time I'm
pretty happy with it.  First the high/low points:

Strengths:
*uses standard VGA
*accepts NTSC input
*lightweight (4oz head unit)
*compact size
*256grays

Weaknesses:
*needs 7-12v and regulates its own voltage (read power loss)
*2.5watts
*320x240 resolution
*mediocre contrast with lcd
*abysmal head mount slides off your head while standing still unless
  you add two extra straps to hold it on your head.

The most frustrating part about this display is that it doesn't fit on
your head very well (at least not on my head).  I've speant more time
adding various straps, pads, and tape to keep it stable and prevent it
