Portable USB Monitors

[The Rat]

Bit of a geeky question. Anyone use these? I am moving about a bit from work, not using a laptop though, its a small Brix desktop computer, its tiny, but I prefer it to my mac for work.

I was looking at portable USB monitors, about 150 - 200 quid for a 15 inch one I think.

Only thing is seem to me mainly used as 2nd screens for laptops, wondering if they can handle desktops.

I am shit with computers, I am expecting very few replies but any help be canny. ta

This is why they invented laptops

I'm using one right now. I prefer to work with two screens. Because I'm travelling for several months in Africa I'm relying on a laptop and bought an ASUS 169B HD screen to supplement it. No complaints. It works very well, and paying a bit more for full HD was well worth it. MS Word is exceptionally sharp on it, and it's also very good for watching HD fillums on.
