Not sure I'd spend $130 for the dumbed down version, but think this is interesting nonetheless! http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-10155945-1.html?tag=mncol;txt Rick |

Have I missunderstood something or is it ONLY connected via a USB. So it would be possible to connect it to the mediasmart without a vga hack?? |

Per the company's website here, it would seem one cable does it all. Unless of course your USB ports are underpowered, requiring a second USB cable, in which case two cables do it all. |

Um... Just stating the obvious here...? You will still need a keyboard and mouse in order to use the screen... I was excited for about 1 minute until I remembered about the mouse/keyboard issue... Even with the $200 (touch screen) edition, you still need a keyboard... *sigh* ...nothing is ever easy.... ender21 wrote: Not sure I'd spend $130 for the dumbed down version, but think this is interesting nonetheless!

A USB keyboard and mouse work fine and are dirt cheap... |

I could not get it to work, but I sure do love it hooked up to my main computer. I use to watch the news while I am doing other things on the comptuer. Apparently there needs to be a bios update in order to get it to work...I think...says something about upgrading the video driver. |

I'd be interested in the specific error message, if you get access to that, to see what's the limiting factor. |

Ok here goes, but before I do that here is what the manual says. Operating Systems Vista-Supported except 64-bit system XP-Supported 2000-Supported Server 2003-Not Supported Here is the error Before installing DisplayLink Core software and drivers please install up-to-date OEM drivers for your PC's graphics hardware. Please refer to the DisplayLink Core documentation for further information. |

Definitely doesn't sound good, and not very helpful error message. Oh well, thanks! |
