I am a parapalegic and generally work and read in bed for comfort. I
am looking for a high resolution lcd screem around 17 or 19 inches
diagonal which can be detached from its base and held in my hands so
that I can work or
read from my lap. I have a wireless mouse and keyboard, so if this
screen could also be wireless, it would be all the brtter.

My problem is that I have a heavy Dell XPS laptop and is too heavy and
hot to hold in my lap.

Resolution of present screen is up to 1900 X 1200 or so

Pleasr recommend brands or a method to find them that offer monitors
with this capability.

Here is a product with a 15-inch display:

I think the nearest to a wireless screen would be a tablet PC - see

They generally don't have real keyboards but use handwriting
recognition on the touch screen, although you can use an external
keyboard. Weight is similar to an ordinary laptop, although modern
mobile processors generate less heat.

Any 17 or 19 inch screen is going to be fairly heavy to hold for long
periods; you might look at 'anglepoise' style or gas lift arms for
wall-mounting the screen and swinging it into position.

These illustrate desk mounts but wall adapters are available

Thank you very much for taking the time to give me advice. I wonder if
there would be a market for a screen that is 2 X 8.5 by 11 in. papers
or less wit high res., but only large to the point that it can be hand
held..
