I ordered one, and it croaked on me. I have no idea how it croaked, but the display had nothing but vertical lines on it after a while. It was just a big pain in the arse anyway. The extended desktop was a "B", and I tried to get anime clips to play on it exclusively, but I could not get the darn video to stay in one screen and still do regular stuff. I'd launch a 3d game and it wouldnt work properly on the extended desktop either. The game would pop up on the little monitor instead of my big one.

I would rather go with a nice VFD which displays system stats. I initially thought this was a good idea until I tried it.
