Coupled with a USB extender (if it works with it), I would send my secondary connection to my DVI-equipped LCD TV and swing all the additional pictures and video across the room.

Another student here, another vote for taking notes on the tablet while studying an ebook.

I used to own the MiMo 7″ display (http://www.thegadgeteers.com/product_mimo.html), which also used USB connection and DisplayLink technology. But the size is too small. The DisplayLink will be perfect for me!

Been wanting to add monitors to my tablet for some time this would be a good reason to go ahead and spend the money. Thanks

I’m a medical student and I use my tablet PC to take notes from textbooks and journals whiles working on my desk. Something like this would be great because I have to position my Lenovo X61 tablet in a position such that the VGA output is facing TOWARDS me, otherwise my palm accidentally hits the tablet buttons! With the VGA port towards me the VGA cable would have to bend & kink around, damaging not only the cable but also the port over time, not to mention being in the way! However – there are USB ports facing away from me when it’s in this landscape mode that I could use. I’d use a DisplayLink adaptor to drive the unused monitor on my desk so that I can more easily view eBooks, Journals on it as the 1400×1050 X61 resolution can make text quite small to read and – of course – keep up to date with GottaBeMobile.com!

The perfect extension to my desktop. It’s a slimline case, so limited for Video card expansion. I’ve got it driving 2 monitors now, but would also like it to drive my 40″ that way I can have 2 monitors for working, and one for Windows Media Center playback.

I’d like to have this solution for my work PC. I have an extra monitor but a generic video card that doesn’t support another video source. Non-profit work can’t buy me a solution and I can’t afford/justify to pay out of pocket. Would be great for viewing spreadsheets and working with a database on two screens. Thanks for the contest.

This would be great for any laptop, but especially for a tablet. I’d probably use it as you are doing. I’ve wanted a “digital notepad” on my desktop for a long time, but also want a normal display simultaneously. This would also be great for word processing, since you could have Word (or whatever) in portrait mode while your web browser open on your 2nd screen in landscape.

I’m a student and I would attach two monitors to my Lenovo X61 Tablet when studying. Sweet!

Dual monitor would help with studying. Tablet with notes in OneNote, textbook or slides on second monitor.

Yeah I’d love this.
12.1in. on my x200t is good for traveling, but bad for working at home. This is especially true with my vision problem that requires 3 different pairs of glasses and a pair of contact lenses.
I used to have an external monitor, but without a dock (too expensive for just connecting a monitor), connecting and disconnecting the monitor is a real hassle.

I work for a small non-profit. I have a dual monitor setup, but have wanted to add a 3rd monitor to be able to use monitor 1 for essential day-to-day program monitoring services, monitor #2 for day-to-day program staff support, and monitor # 3 for community collaborative development work.

I know our office is behind the times but we were just offered a second-hand 17″ flat screen monitor at work. Of course, I immediately accepted and set up dual monitors. I love the set-up and would like to duplicate it at home. However, at home I have an HP Touchsmart all-in-one which does not have an extra VGA port so I will have to set up a USB connection. The displaylink would definitely come in handy as I possibly add multiple monitors at home. I really need this.

At the moment I can only think of hooking my TC1100 up to my TV, but I’m sure I would come up with something more exciting once I won.

I use the Matrox dualhead2go to attach 2 monitors to my HP2710p tablet docking station. I can run all 3 monitors and do not have a problem with different orientations.

Sorry for the glitch folks. Go ahead and post comments now.

Tamas: I have a Wacom Graphire Wireless tablet sitting in front of those wires to hide them when I’m not using it to control my media PC (you can see its top corner in the photo). The wires run under the desk after they spill over. As to the quantity, I have way too many accessories.
