Let's say for put a map for a first person shooter or to put a rear view for car games, to put a rotation cube (for 3dstudio and/or another 3d animation), for debug in full screen, or simple to show the clipboard.

any idea what the processor pulls these things cause? im guessing around 10-20%?]]>Aug 24th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/
The displaylink chip has hardware video acceleration in it about on par with a GMA X3100, and uses some heavy hardware data compression on the displaylink side of things. It works fine through a hub and in fact only uses about 60mbps to send the videostream at 800x480.

All your CPU has to do is compress the datastream. CPU usage is less than 2% on every system i've used it on ie; no noticable change. Compression algorithm is very efficient and low-power, it amazes me.

you can easily hit 60fps (the full refresh rate of the screen) in low-poly 3D games such as GoldSource stuff (Half-Life 1 and mods) or basic Java 3D apps like Minecraft.]]>Aug 24th 2009 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/Aug 24th 2009 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/Aug 25th 2009 9:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/24/nanovision-mimo-710-s-and-720-s-usb-monitors-hands-on-do-not-p/

The picture on the unit seemed fine to me, but my intent is to for it to be a desktop extension for work, not play so much. I did slide my Slingbox client over to it and it seemed to work OK, but did slow things down a bit. I turned it to portrait and stuck Twhirl, a twitter client on it and that looked like it could be very useful. A messenger client of some sort would probably do well, as well.

So, I didn't really put it through paces, but the drivers available seem to work OK for WIN 7, and they are still beta, and it seems like this will be fairly useful. Couple of pics here if interested, http://twitpic.com/photos/sejohannsen

FYI, this is not recognized as a SideShow device. I expect that might be something drivers could change, but it isn't that way now. With Win 7 though, with sidebar gadgets not being so constrained, you could do some interesting stuff in making a sort of status panel.

To the person asking if the monitor can be used as a primary, yes it can..

For hell of it I was playing around and disabled my GPU as a video output and directed everything out of USB.. played FlatOut2 perfectly - although the frame rate was perfectly matched the novelty was short lived, gimme my 1920x1200 over 800x480 any day :D
