DisplayLink and EVGA Bring USB Graphics Adapters to Mass-Market
DisplayLink and EVGA today announced that they have teamed to deliver a new generation of affordable USB graphics adapters (UGAs) for mass-market retail consumers. EVGA's new UV Plus+ Family of products which consists of the UV12 and UV16 USB graphics adapters, are based on DisplayLink network display technology, enabling any available USB port on your desktop PC or notebook to be turned into an additional video output for use with another display. The GPU-less design utilizes a virtual driver and high-performance DDR memory with full support for Windows Vista Aero and high resolution capabilities. Once the USB 2.0 capable EVGA UGA is used to connect your system to an additional monitor, the following three video modes will be accessible: mirrored desktop, extended desktop and primary display. Furthermore the included software will let you expand (left, right, above or below), rotate (left, right, or upside-down), or mirror your virtual workspace. Both adapters are now available through EVGA's network of partners with a sub-$100 price tag. Please proceed here for more information.

This is like the reverse of a TV tuner and those could only do low resolution.
unfortunantly 1394 is trademarked and stuff and you have to pay licensing fees to use it, etc. etc.
having one of those would really save me having to get a new laptop - have an 'all rounder' laptop - i use it to do a lot of my movie/image editing when away from home, it does my downloads when im on my main pc, it plays guildwars & cod2 but its old....
it's a simple an additional display port for your pc
so you can play crysis but.... if the Displaylink will lose same FPS :) But the crysis dont have many FPS :D
It's like a KVM on the network port :)
