Under Windows, I presume. I guess they couldn't sell a lot if that wouldn't be the case... but again, try any non-Windows device. I am only trying to warn people because they might have no idea what they are getting into: this USB driven monitor uses a proprietary technology of DisplayLink, standardized and recognized by exactly noone. If DisplayLink gives you a working driver for your particular OS then that's good (until of course you actually want to push something like an action movie over it...)

You can't buy a cheap Android stick to watch Netflix in your hotel. Etc. Nothing. Windows or bust. On Mac, the mere act of plugging in your monitor might crash the Apple Window server and they do not currently have a resolution. Not even 10.8 has a stable driver, only a beta.
