    Does anyone have experience with a port replicator for their W3V or any notebook. I'm specifically talking about those universal port replicators that hook up via USB 2.0. I've been looking at the targus universal port replicator and was wondering if the external monitor connection works well. I'm kinda getting annoyed with hooking the vga cord to my W3V everytime i want to use it and I think putting one USB cable in would be much simpler.

    I think that's new...I've not seen a universal with video over USB. I have no idea how that would work, but it's a fantastic idea. I plan on researching this more...

    I would also like to know how this works, when reading about the output specs it seems very ****ty. Max is 1024x768 with max output of 16bit colors.... that excludes the majority of LCD monitors since anything but native resolution looks kinda weird.
