What are the benefits of a USB-powered monitor? Does it power-on quicker or does it require any drivers?
one thing my buddy said when he showed this to me... multi-monitors for laptops. the solutions out there right now work, but are flaky as heck. now you can have as many monitors as you have free USB ports. not a bad proposition.
No, it's not *powered* by USB. It just gets it's signal from USB. USB spec can't supply enough power for a monitor.
