John,

Sorry to read about your problem. I'll stick with the laptop, but something you may want to consider is a small, flatscreen monitor. I know a couple guys using a 15-inch flatscreen, but a smaller unit would likely do what you want, plus allow you to use the keyboard's LCD display as well.

Good Luck,

Gary
