Evan Selleck, Sep 13th 2010 Discuss [0]

At this year's IDF, it looks like one of the main focuses is connectivity. After Intel outlined their own plans to feature "smart devices," with a focus on their connectivity, it looks like it's time for DisplayLink to keep their promise made at the end of the year, last year. And sure enough, the company has just made official their newest USB 3.0 chip platform. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Apr 22nd 2010 Discuss [0]

DisplayLink adapters capable of outputting 1080p Full HD are relatively rare beasts - so far we've spotted a Lenovo model on the market, for a heady $129 - so Diamond Multimedia's $75 BVUMD3 USB Display Adapter Plus tickles us exactly where we want it to: in our wallets. The compact device allows you to hook up a DVI or VGA monitor to a regular USB 2.0 port on your PC, notebook or netbook, and you can plug in up to six at any one time. Read The Full Story

iMo Plus 10-inch USB sub-display coming April with touchscreen option

Chris Davies, Mar 16th 2010 Discuss [0]

We rather like USB secondary monitors like those you find in Nanovision's MIMO range, but the 7-inch size they generally come in might not suit everybody's desk. Into the fray steps the iMo Plus, USB-connected and DisplayLink powered like the rest, but offering 10-inches and 1024 x 576 resolution along with a resistive touchscreen option. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Sep 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

We've a soft-spot for USB-connecting mini LCD displays - they're a nifty way to get Photoshop toolbars, IM windows, Twitter apps and other windows off your main display but keep them readily visible - so we're glad to see more options hitting the market. DoubleSight have three sub-displays to choose from, starting from the 7-inch DS-70U and then breaking into the hitherto unusual 9-inch segment with the DS-90U and DS-90UC. Read The Full Story

Nanovision MIMO 710-S USB LCD display gets folding travel case/stand

Chris Davies, Aug 4th 2009 Discuss [0]

Nanovision have updated their range of MIMO USB LCD sub-displays with a new travel-friendly model. The Nanovision MIMO 710-S "Mobile Slider" keeps the same 800 x 480 resolution 7-inch LCD display from the existing range, but pairs it with a new folding, twisting clamshell stand that can be used to protect the display during transit. That's handy, because these mini-displays perhaps make most sense when used to add a little more screen real-estate to a laptop. Connecting via USB and using the DisplayLink virtual monitor system rather than a computer's own video card, the 710-S boasts 350 cd/m2 brightness and a 500:1 contrast ratio. Read The Full Story
