Well written and thought out. My only question was whether or not I could use TWO of these little monitors on one laptop at the same time (meaning three screens at once). I have the USB ports so the HW isn't an issue, but I was wondering if the driver supported it. And this little guy is gonna be HUGE in the home automation and auto industries. What could be easier than a single USB cable? They do need a touch screen model now though. :) Can anybody answer my multi-USB question? Thanks!! Hey, this was a great review.

Moved it to a Windows 7 machine and it appears the driver does not deal with power management very well. If all displays are turned off due to inactivity, the DoubleSight display never turns itself back on again. The only way to get it to turn on is cycle the power. Of course then anything which was being displayed on the monitor is shoved onto your primary display. Sometimes it also turns off display when logging off. I am waiting for a reply from DoubleSight on this. It also does not always play nicely with multiple monitors with respect to resolution, but that may be the problem of the other display driver.

It is a paper weight for me right now until DisplayLink can get around their untold "legal issues" and update the driver :( Also worth mentioning that while Windows 7 is now supported, Windows Server 2008 R2 is not.

As it is, not a chance. If it were touch-capable, I’d buy it. As it is, not a chance.
