InFocus Projectors to Get USB Video Capability

Whether or not you are a fan of DisplayLink, you have to admit that the ability to add an extra display via USB interface like the Samsung 940UX monitor is pretty handy. For those of you that have ever had the pleasure of having to give a presentation from your laptop through an external party's equipment, you surely know that it is often a pain and sometimes doesn't even work. InFocus seems to have felt your pain and sees the potential the DisplayLink has to offer. They now plan to include DisplayLink in their future projectors.

Imagine not having to worry about having DVI or VGA, cloned display or extended desktops, or whether that pesky KVM is going to work. Simply plug the USB cable in, and you're good to go. No more carrying around that extra USB video card, just the cable. With the progress being made so rapidly in relation to the resolution that DisplayLink supports, you might just not have to worry about that either. Unfortunately most places/people don't replace their projectors on a regular basis so you might find that the adoption of this on a wide scale will simply take a little bit of time.
