Hi Antonio,
Thanks for asking.
1) How can I view the genos display on a larger monitor?
Answer:
You will need to buy a USB 2.0 display adapter and a 15.6-inch to 27-inch LCD/LED monitor that supports a good scaling of 800x600 resolution. I tested a 21.5-inch Dell S2240T Touchscreen LED-lit Monitor, and a 24-inch LG 24MP88HV-S 24-Inch IPS Monitor - both work well with Genos' display output of 800x480. I use 2-inch self-adhesive Velco patches between the bottom edge of the monitor and the Genos built-in music stand for a stable and reliable placement.
BTW, Genos current firmware 1.10 does not support touch functionality for external touchscreen monitors, you still have to touch the Genos built-in 9-inch touchscreen.
You can purchase a USB 2.0 to VGA, or a USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI display adapter based on DisplayLink DL-165 or DL-195 chipset. You can find my comments on the tested working ones on the published Yamaha list of USB 2.0 display adapters mentioned here:

Answer: Internal hard disk: User - the 58 GB built-in SSD of Genos
The answer for USB1, USB2 etc. is very confusing but basically:
USB1: The first USB disk assigned by the Genos Linux OS (firmware)
USB2: The second USB disk assigned by the Genos Linux OS (firmware)
If you power Genos on with no USB sticks, then the first USB stick you plug in is USB1, the second USB stick you plug in is USB2, the third USB stick you plug in is USB3, and so on. I tested up to 4 USB sticks by using a USB 2.0 hub at the back of Genos.
If you plug in 3 USB sticks to all the USB ports of Genos simultaneously before powering Genos up, my tests indicated that when the Genos is powered up:
USB1: USB stick connected to the rear USB port of Genos.
USB2: USB stick connected to the underneath USB port of Genos.
USB3: USB stick connected to the front USB port of Genos.
I use very inexpensive US$70 PNY Turbo 256GB USB 3.0 Flash Drives.
I suffered enough from the USB disk assignment confusion, so I make sure to remove all the USB sticks connected to the USB port underneath and the back of Genos. I now only use one USB stick that is connected to the front USB port of Genos as a 'guaranteed' USB1 to make the playlists work correctly, the convenience of doing screen captures, backups etc.
I hope the above addressed your need. If you want more in-depth information, please let me know.
Thanks,
Paul
