USB->SVGA Adapter - Pretty cool for a 2nd monitor

[Eric]

Tom's Hardware mentioned it.

Plug into any USB 2.0 port, install the drivers, and display your screen on a second monitor. Or split your desktop across both monitors.

Up to 1280x1024 resolution too... not bad.

Wow is USB fast enough??

A DVI Input does 19.2GB/s... heh

Would help if I logged in, eh?

[Eric]

For gaming? Doubtful... for video presentations and office work? Sure. Oh, and it only supports USB 2.0, so no 1.1 stuff.

$99? I would think I could get a semi-reasonable video card for that though. Still has value if you want to hook up multiple monitors on a laptop though.

does it come with the to flat panel monitors?

arn't you able to do two montior systems on labtops?, (because of the vga output they usually have on the back) or does that just theysame screen has the labtop?

[Sentax]

Most laptops have a vga connection so you can hook your labtop ( ) up to a projector or another viewing device. I don't believe you can extend the desktop but I may be wrong. And of course it depends on the laptop hardware also. Some new models may have it.

I know this is old and it may be irrelavant now, however, I do know that with some (I won't say all because I don't know) laptops with the VGA port you can get it setup for an extended desktop, it's just a pain in the ass to do so. I know that there is some kind of shortcut key in windows for a laptop to cycle through video outputs and how they rely on eachother or if they are independent. (I wish I could remember the shortcut key for you now )
