    I remember looking at the details of this product a few months ago. Is the resolution still 1366 x 768?

    What is the resolution/size of the monitor? How does it compare to Lenovo's USB mobile monitor?

    I doubt many road warriors would carry around or even buy a portable external monitor. But, people do carry around tablets even when they have their laptop on them: for that reason, I think a setup like this would be far more useful at a much lower cost. And, I'm willing to be the quality of most tablet displays are better than that of this Toshiba mobile monitor or the Lenovo mobile monitor.

    How is the performance on this one, can it run 720p fullscreen video?

    I have a toshiba one that I got a while back (not sure if its the same one). It can do 720p video no problem. I have had only a few times where I brought it with me, but its handy sometimes for sure. I usually just keep it on the wall and have facebook streaming on it and/or spotify.

    That's cool because I got my hands on the Lenovo one couple months ago and it lagged/picture was torn with fullscreen video.

    Calibration data? Contrast readings? Viewing angles?
