COMPUTEX 2008: Asus demonstrated four 22-inch monitors daisy chained together and connected via just one USB 2.0 port. Impressive stuff.

 

Cool technology, I want it for work.. although I would need a bigger desk first

 

That looks like a clever bit of kit - brilliant for those looking for mega real estate without the cost of multiple graphics cards. Problem is that who'll actually want it? Alright, you've got data-centre type applications, but your usual multi-monitor wanters like gamers and video/image editors won't want it because it's a) laggy, and b) compressed.

 

well as far as I know you only need a ninja graphics card for the screens you want to game on, the others could be driven from PCI cards for all it matters so I only see the point of this for notebooks as usb is a horible interface for things like a displays.

 

Old tech really, Samsung did it first.

 

No good for gaming looking at the specs and which office worker need 4x 22" to view an Access database lol
