    Having just recently purchased a USB display (and subsequently getting rid of it), I can say that these are only useful on non-gaming machines.


    The moment the drivers are installed, games perform FAR worse than before. I saw a drop of 32fps on Mirror's Edge after installing mine. I spent 2 days searching the 'net to find a solution, and all I found are many other people having the same issues (not just with that game obviously, but any graphically demanding game).


    Maybe these will be stable with gaming PC's someday, but they sure as hell aren't right now.

    Sorry, I have more commenting to do:


    Is this available for sale yet? Car Computer has it listed, but no price. First 2 pages of Google are just more blogs about it.


    Ahem, I should have said "available for sale from a reputable dealer in the US", which is really what I'm jonesing for.


    129 bux on a sketchy looking site tho! That's a steal.

    Waizza minute.. And they packed touch screen/webcam/mic into that? Pretty sweet. Great for home automation control as well. Hang it on a wall & hide the PC.

    "My sense from reading the press release below is that it's PC only, but so are most of the cool USB-video products out there. "


    Uh, what? What about the Mimo display that you guys just reviewed recently? Works just fine on my Mac.

    Any monitor that requires nothing more than USB power is fantastic, but at 7", it is much closer to novelty than an actual usable product. Perhaps if I needed a second monitor on a laptop, but then I don't think a laptop would provide the needed power on the USB port.

    Or you could hook up a real monitor via DisplayLink USB connection and have a decent looking screen :)

    [www.displaylink.com] for details.

    @rentahero1: quasi-proprietary-BS, you could nearly get a UM-710 for the cost of the adapter dongle necessary to use any normal display with that port...

    Although I noticed the wiki article is a little "biased" and of questionable validity...

    @bpapa9013: Yep, just noticed that on DisplayLink's site. But DisplayLink supports monitors up to 1600x1200, so you can do a lot better than 800x480 over USB 2.0.


    Funnily enough, I work for a DisplayPort adopter company, so I'm probably more than a little biased about the format as well ;) Actually, DisplayPort isn't proprietary at all. It's a VESA standard just like VGA and DVI. And DisplayPort will eventually be cheaper to implement than DVI (once the devices that support it are produced in volume), which is why there's a PC industry push to adopt it. Despite what you hear from certain websites, it's not just Apple (although Apple has their Mini-DisplayPort which is actually proprietary).

    So the webcam isn't good? Darn. I could have used this for my G3, as I really don't use it for more than host one of my webcams anymore.

    @Jason Chen: I've become a cam snob since I got ones that are better than my original cam. :) I really like this b/c it would mean I could finally return the LCD I "borrowed" from work a few months back as well as add a sixth cam to my line up. Any chance of getting some test shots?
