[QUOTE="wheelguy12, post: 1220583, member: 197775"] This is it: [url=http://us.kensington.com/html/17445.html]Universal Docking Station with Video sd300v - K33930US - Kensington[/url] Get the latest drivers from the video chip maker, DisplayLink: [url=http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php]DisplayLink: Mac OS X Software[/url] It plays nicely with my Apple 27" Cinema display. I just plug 1 USB into my MBP, and - poof - I've got external speakers, printer, keyboard, scanner, backup disk, and tethered phone modem. In addition to 2 big displays + the laptop screen. Close the laptop, all 3 screens sleep. Open laptop, all 3 screens wake - sweet! To put this in perspecitive, less expensive/older models may limit you to mirror only mode, lower resolution, and even cause screen or system crashes. I found just 1 that appears to have done things correctly, but if you know of another - please chime in. On the video speed - the USB video chip drops frames instead of holding up the system. USB 2.0 just isn't fast enough for real time frame rates at high rez, and the choice of dropping frames is the best option IMHO. [/QUOTE]
