Possible Monitor

Hello I am looking for a monitor to use in a project that I have planned for the raspberry pi and was curious if this one would work. If not can you suggest any, around the same size preferably, that would

the Pi could not power it without the use of a good USB HUB

there are possibly linux drivers not sure

Ok, so if I plug the monitor into a usb hub that then plugs into the pi I should be all good to go?

I don't see a Linux driver mentioned...

after a quick google search, it appears that this *should* work.

There's also the built-in DisplayLink DL-125 which allows the monitor to be easily integrated into existing desktop environments including Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 & Apple Mac OSX Tiger / Leopard and Lion. Linux support is also available through many of the standard distributions.

Have a look here:

You can download the sources. I have a DisplayLink adapter... but no pi.

Note that most USB monitors actually create a second GPU so anything displayed on this monitor won't be accelerated by the the VideoCore IV found in the Pi.

Yes, this isn't so much a "monitor", as a separate video generator that is controlled through a USB link, (who knows how) and happens to have an LCD panel tied to its output. So it probably accepts (x-windows) drawing command's, but for example it will never play back video or 3D games, (at an acceptable frame rate).

For much less money you can get an old 17" monitor sporting a DVI-D (or DVI-I) input, with a HDMI to DVI-D cable.
