Put USB and video together, and the first thing you would hear is DisplayLink – the company behind the first true USB video chipset. By compressing on the host PC before sending the lossless video image through USB, you get lag-free 1600×1200 desktop mirror and spanning. The technology current drives Samsung 19″ SyncMaster USB monitor, and now Kensington sd200v Notebook Docking Station with Video.

True to its name, the Kensington isn’t just another USB dock that replicates the ports like USB, mic, and stereo port on your lappy. This one also comes with a VGA port that sends an mirrored image of your desktop on a second monitor. Granted, literally all notebooks and even UMPC does desktop spanning and mirror, yet some people may need a third. So, this dock targets at a rather niche market.

Lastly, the button in front lets you toggles between ‘clone’ and ‘extend’ video mode. The DisplayLink DL-120 video core on this dock supports up to 1440 x 900 max. resolution.
