Same, I might just add that the USB monitor thing (well, DisplayLink at least) is not as bad as one would expect. It's surprisingly efficient and 99.9% of the time you won't notice the difference. When playing full screen video it might take up a bit of CPU power, but unless you're under heavy load already it won't matter. Been using a StarTech DisplayLink adapter for 2 years now and never complained. EDIT: A quick google reveals it might not behave as well on a linux-based OS.
