This company http://www.trittonsales.com/products/TRIUV100.htm is working on a USB 2.0 video connection for Mac - first samples reputedly sometime in July, we're a distributor for them so I'll be beta testing the first one into Canada...
Thanks

Leeloo the 5th said:Quite rightI have a mini as a main machine, and I'm very happy with it! But I've experienced the coolness of dual screens when writing a paper: word processor on one screen, pdf articles on the other one. Other people have other reasons, I'm sure.
Jo-Kun said:maybe its my ignorance... but why would you want 2 displays on a mini... in my eyes I woud get a mini as backup system, maybe iTunes server, Printerserver, something like that...
but than again... I allready work on my G5 so maybe other people use the mini as main system and want it still...
but Apple will not build this...
Yeah, I've been looking into the Dell 20" widescreen when I had to buy a screen, but unfortunately they're a lot more expensive over here. We don't have coupons like there are on some US or Canadian sites. Sometimes there's a discount on the Dell site itself, but you have to be lucky or patient...kingjr3 said:Just get the 20" (or larger) Widescreen ACD or Dell 2005FPW LCD. Plenty of room to have both apps side by side. The dell can regularly be had for around $400-450.
Yeah, you wouldn't use it for DVD playback, but for relatively static screens like the pallettes for your graphics/audo/video production software, it looks promising.javiercr said:looks interesting but i guess it will take quite a bit of cpu time
