USB monitor - better or worse?

Decided to do a WINDOWS re-install since I could not get my "radio" mouse to work but it got me thinking about what the optimizations are about.

I was looking at the monitor optimizations - specifically the idea of running the monitor at its native resolution to minimize work.

This got me to wonder if my large monitor (21 inches) and its rather high native resolution requires more work than the tiny monitor in the ZALMAN case as some are using.

So, I started looking around and found these USB monitors. One would think it best to power the monitor with a GRANITE or the "dirty" supply.

Would this make a difference? Lowering the native resolution from
1680 x 1050 to 800 x 480? These have their own video card which would require less work from the on-board stuff. Could the on-board stuff be turned off as a result of this?

With the new board there is no choice between USB 2.0 and USB, so that is not a consideration.

I have included a random link to one of many of these available.

Any thoughts?
