USB Display as Primary?

Not sure where to direct this.

I'm trying to collect equipment to use my mac mini as a mobile recording set up. I was wondering if something like the following...

...could be used as my primary display

I have a late 2012 mac mini with OS X 10.8.4

No. It says it on the links you posted, click on the Specification Sheet towards the bottom of the Amazon page (for the first link). It says it cannot be used as a primary display.

The HP monitor is also a no. Some people commented on it regarding the drivers not being available for Mac computers. You could always contact HP directly or check their website to see if they have drivers available to work with Mac computers, but I would assume you wouldn't be able to use it as a primary display.

Are there are any options out there for portable monitors that one could use as a primary display?
