Its fine for text mode displays from say a servers framebuffer but its not good for a desktop.ĭon't be tempted to unplug this device if this display is still active, it will crash X when its unplugged. You might be able to tweak it a bit with xrandr and cvt but don't expect to show video.
Something to bare in mind is the refresh rate is really low because of the low data rates of USB2, this meant that connecting this display made all the other displays i use drop down to 30hz which felt horribly laggy compared to the normal 60hz.
