I guess the product you are describing already exists today (a laptop). Personally I find the Touch’ display very good. I’m about 2 – 3 meters away from it and the dispaly is readable enough. A larger display on the Touch would mean a larger device and that would make it too bulky. The

You can probably get a second hand 15 LCD monitor for less than $100, maybe less than $25. If you connect that to a cigarette pack sized mini computer, and run the web interface on it (at your desired zoom level), or SqueezePlay, would that perhaps fit your need? -- Soulkeeper 'Bug 17797:

I used to have a small PC hooked up to a small monitor but the whole reason I got a Squeezebox is to avoid the maintenance of a PC, have instant access to music, etc. I like the Touch color interface with cover art so all I need is a little larger display. I also prefer to have an always on

I like my new Touch but it sits inside my media cabinet and I operate it with a remote control. It is hard to see the screen unless I walk up to it so what I would really like is a new Squeezebox device that either had a larger built-in non-touch display or one with no display and a video output
