Great idea ruined :(
what are you gonna do??? plug your PS3/360 Into it?? :confused::confused:
It would be awesome to have something durable and small to take on vacation
imo judging a screen by how low the reaction time is so yesterday. screen reaction rates mean nothing so long as they use a decent panel.
SECONDLY the screen only connects via USB. They havent been clear if its USB 2.0 or 3.0, USB 2.0 would be unsuitable for HD gaming. so it doesnt matter what the screens reaction time is.
A full 1080P exceeds what USB 2.0's bandwidth is capable of which would make the video stutter and thats totally unplayable. for 720p though (and lets be honest - thats not 'full HD' gaming) you might be fine
USB 2.0 has been around since 2000, HDMI has been out since 2003 (according to wiki) If USB2.0 was really that good then they would have been rolling these USB-to-HDMI things out and getting them sold by the bucket loads.
HOWEVER the idea wasnt picked up until the appearence of USB3.0 and its because USB3.0 is 10x faster then USB2.0 and that extra bandwidth allows it to support full 1080p.
USB2.0 Bandwidth = 480Mbit/s
USB3.0 Bandwidth = 5,000Mbit/s
HDMI Bandwidth = 10.2 Gbit/s
you are on holiday man, get the f**k outdoors, go sightseeing, hiking, adventuring or the usual shit people do when they go on holiday. Packing a 16" monitor for personal use would just be retarded. NOT THAT I CANT SEE THE BENEFITS IT MAY BRING. but why go on holiday if youre gonna spend it sitting in front of the screen???
Im more then happy to holiday with just a small netbook so long as it plays HD videos. being a netbook it will either be 10.1" or 11.6" but it is what it is and its plenty for blogging, youtube and HD video while on the move.
what I usually do when i go on holiday is make sure i have a good set of portable USB/bluetooth speakers to plug into my laptop for the movies and stuff after a day out sightseeing. I wouldnt be able to live with mediocre sound specially if im watching a movie.
My old trusty Altec Lansing XT1's might be old but they will more then shake the table if you crank them up so im plenty satisfied.
so suck it up!!! :slap::slap::slap:
