this is using displaylink tech, yes?
Based on the info on their website, it does appear that they use DisplayLink. So I guess if you’ve got the desk space (and budget) for six of these guys, you can run them all. 🙂
ah, i was going over the site, but could find no direct mention, thanks 🙂
I may be mis-interpretting the meaning as I’m a bit clueless on the technology but here’s a direct quote from the 9″ variants summary:
