Just curious about the idea for USB monitors and gaming. I feel like it'd be a no brainer to create a portable monitor, powered via USB, and displayed by VGA, DVI, HDMI, or something of the sort. Unfortunately, this doesn't exist, but monitors via USB do. I want to use one for a second display at home (gaming on my main monitor, and other stuffs (internet browsing/ word processing) on my other monitor). I want to also use it on the go as a primary display for gaming.
My question is whether I would be able to use a monitor such as so (http://www.amazon.com/AOC-E1649FWU-USB-Powered-Portable-Monitor/dp/B005SEZR0G/ref=cm_cd_ql_qh_dp_t) to use as a second display at home and for gaming on the go (LAN Parties and such). My primary concern is the bottleneck of USB 2.0 resulting in inadequate gaming ability, regardless of GPU (I'm running EVGA 660Ti).
That being said, a newer model has come out (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMKOVMO/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) ($40 more) at a USB 3.0 speeds. Based upon my needs, what are your guy's impressions?
Thanks!
