For those of you who use a dummy FO CDU:
On the left is the working CDU
The screen next to it is a 12" (1024X768) which fits perfectly and does not interfere with the 15" Engine Screen.

The 12" in held in place easily with the very handy FDS monitor holder

The lower DU frame will define the size of the display in windowed mode ( I use Quickmap here and checklists). The part under the FO dummy CDU will not be used. This allows displaying the full size of the lower DU, as opposed to a partial displaywith a 10"monitor.

Final view. A dummy CDU opening page display backlit with an EL sheet will be used on the right side.

A very neat solution - I was wondering how to solve the same problem, so many thanks
David
Great solution, you gave me inspiration there!
Just one question: what brand is your 12ยจ screen and where did you get it?
NEC, and the only affordable source is EBay , I paid $90.

Great simple solution. Wish I hadn't bought a second CDU a long time ago as it was never used anyway (at least in my case).
