You can indeed use it to mirror the monitors if you don’t want it to extend the desktop. It basically works like any other monitor under Mac.

This sounds very interesting for a project I am doing.
Here’s a question: Will it allow for the usb-VGA monitor to mirror my other external monitor? ie: I have quartz composer running on my main laptop display and need to both monitor the QC video output and send the QC video output to a projector.
Is this device (or the software) capable of doing this?

Thanks!

When the computer is closed you can still use an external monitor. Just go into the system preferences and tell it to wake up on mouse or keyboard input. Then when the monitor is plugged in close the laptop and after it sleeps hit any key on your keyboard. It will wake up and use the external monitor. :-)

Why not get a bigger Screen, something like 42″, will serve the purpose equally well?
