They are currently in the process of creating convenient USB display devices with additional features that should ultimately reduce desktop clutter,
and provide the entire display viewing audience with an amazing all in one peripheral for the home of office.
Product Application:
There are hundreds of different uses for a USB display. I use mine as a little Internet PIP window. I can watch tv, and browse the internet while blocking the onscreen channel insignia. It is perfect for displaying Vista Sidebar Gadgets such as the Post-IT Notepad, CPU Meter, Calendar, or any other sidebar item you would like to display. It is most useful with programs that require additional workspace such as Adobe Photoshop. It's also great for browsing your music playlist, watching videos, and playing flash based
games on the internet.
