I have a 1024x600 Doublesight I use for Winamp etcetera. It'll play video files smoothly, and the screen is much nicer/sharper than I had expected it to be, i.e. not just a gadget. They are overpriced by ~50% IMO. Get a used one - you'll like it.

I'd like one as well. How do they work while say...playing a 3D game? Can you use a web browser, etc., while running a 3D app on the main monitor without any problems? I'm using crossfired 5870's if it matters (in case of Ati/nVidia specific issues).

YBS1, I've never played a game on it - the refresh-rate is just enough for video to play - it would be too slow for anything else. When I play a game on anything but my main screen's native resolution (eg 1680x1050 instead of 1900x1200) the USB monitor gets glitchy - when I go back to windows it's fine. Reading a web page is great, as long as you want to read it at 1024x600 or 600x1024... 600x1024 really sucks. I use it for widgets and Winamp. It's a toy, nothing more, and not really useful except for looking cool... It's an older netbook screen, basically.

Edit: What would make it kick ass would be if it were a touch-screen.
