It wasn't all that long ago that DisplayLink was still courting manufacturers and showing off its then newfangled USB graphics adapter technology, but the company is now celebrating a fairly significant milestone, with it announcing that it has sold more than a million of its USB graphics chips. Those have found their way into more than thirty different products from a number of manufacturers, including both wired and wireless USB adapters, projectors, USB docking stations, and a whole range of USB-connected monitors. Of course, DisplayLink isn't about to rest on its laurels now, and it says it expects to see an even greater range of products using its chips as wireless USB and USB 3.0 become the norm.

but you didn't say FIRST!
giggity is the new FIRST
Cool. USB 3.0 = more bandwidth and higher resolution and color depth to these usb monitors. Hopefully they make response time better too and allow full screen movie playback possible.
How many links to Engadget can an article written on Engadget squeeze in? I'm starting the count at 9 links for 118 words, or one link for about every 13 words. Statistics from other posts today, anyone? Comparisons to other blogs?
Simple, a maximum of 119 link. The 1 more is for the link on source link.
probably helps with SEO
Will it run crysis?
Unknown. But it certainly will blend.
J1 what is it for?
J2 what is it for?
Hi today I'm going to talk about annoying ass people that post links to stupid videos that have nothing to do the article in question on engadget. O wait too late
Now only if they'll push out Linux drivers!
or at least some decent windows drivers? even the 5.0 betas were just bleh.
They don't even need to write the Linux drivers, they just need to publish the protocol. Or just part of the protocol - sure, keep the whizzy stuff secret if you want, but I'm sure there's nothing magic in the basic bits. Then I'll write the driver for them.
Or we can just wait for someone with lots of spare time (or other motivation) to reverse engineer the protocol. Oh hang on, THEY ALREADY HAVE. http://floe.butterbrot.org/displaylink/doku.php
Come on displaylink, your protocol has been CRACKED. There is no reason for you to keep is secret anymore. Just publish it already!
I have a DisplayLink USB adapter and it works really great – except for one thing: it doesn’t support the native resolution of my Cintiq 12WX (1280×800)! I am currently running it at 1280×720 which obviously gets stretched. Does anyone know how I can get it to support the native resolution? Technically this shouldn’t be a problem. I have already tried SwitchResX to manually add that resolution, but it doesn’t get through to the DisplayLink driver. I have Leopard.
I couldnt tell if PowerStrip 3.8 was only for windows only, it might work.

It is kind of funny this company has ridden off the success of ripping off technology from a Taiwan manufacture that has an issued US patent and is in litigation with Displaylink.
