It isn't.

Here, AFAIK, you're supposed to be able to inspect the product just 
like you could in a shop, and to do that, you need to plug it in.
Basically the returned product has to be in a shape that it can still
be sold as new.

A single TFT is more reasonable, unless you _really_ need the space,
(i.e. can justify your need to me and other critics). Most don't, 
least of all for their home setups. (I suppose Seth here may have
a proper need, if he _has to_ _monitor_ the _content_ -- and not 
just  something in general happening -- of an IRC discussion 
constantly (modulo the product being supported being of any positive
value), while doing something else. A rather small screen should 
suffice for that, though, e.g. that of a laptop if the computer 
itself was the laptop.)
