Small, high quality, works great with PC and Mac,
We bought this so my wife would have a secondary monitor setup that she could use wherever: home office, work, or wherever. It works great for her on her WIndows laptops (both are Thinkpads). The integrated stand/case is great and the display is even fast enough that web videos (e.g. youtube) are watchable. They’re not as good as native display, but the frame rate is fine. The whole setup is reasonably lightweight and portable.
I have also used it briefly with my Macs. While Toshiba doesn’t include the driver on the included CD rom, if you go to the DisplayLink.com web site, you can download OSX drivers from there.
The only minor issue we have with it is that the place for storing the included USB cord in the cover/stand isn’t the best design. It works OK, but it’s not the most convenient way to store such a cable.

Works perfect on Apple computers!,
The specifications on Amazon and Toshiba’s websites both state this monitor is only compatible with Windows. I only have Macbooks, but thought I would give it a shot, and it works perfectly on everything I have plugged it into! You just have to download the drivers from DisplayLink’s website.
Since this monitor is only being powered from USB…..and is only $200…..I had fairly low expectations. I am very surprised at how well it works. The only thing USB is too slow to run are full screen videos. In a small window, they will play fine without stuttering.

Great extra monitor to take on the road,
I’m giving this product five stars because it’s ideal for its intended purpose, i.e., an extra monitor to take along with your laptop on the road. Very light and compact – about like two legal pads with covers. Screen size is big enough to be really helpful, and is easy to look at. Cover is sturdy & protective of the screen and case, but I’ll carry it next to the laptop for extra rigidity & protection. So far I haven’t noticed a need for the available (but extra) power supply – the dual USB plug supplies enough power.
This is the best alternative I’ve found for this particular need.
