Simply put, does a usb monitor work with continuum on phone? I'd like to try it, but don't have an adapter...

I have an AOC usb monitor (usb powered and video signal) at home and an adapter (usb-c). I don't think it will work since usb monitors requires the special driver but I'll try when I get home and let you know.

Ok so drum roll please............. the answer is no! It doesn't work because there is not yet a DisplayLink driver for Windows 10 Mobile.

I'm hoping they add the driver support for DisplayLink. Usb monitors are awesome for certain use cases. I took mine with me for a long business trip through China. It was really nice having a desktop setup in my rooms. My AOC usb monitor is super thin / light (highly mobile) and fits in my carry on.

totally agree. and more compatibility with things the better. personally, i have a 13" lenovo usb monitor, which supports inking. I'm not holding my breath that this will be supported, but it would be awesome if it actually came through.
