While Duet Display seems to be more responsive all-round when compared to DisplayLink monitors (on Yosemite 10.10.1), it's far from "fully functional without any bugs".

It also seems that you can't use a displaylink monitor and duet display at the same time without it causing some fairly major issues (like the DisplayLink monitor failing to refresh properly) or the Duet Display screen to lockup. Removing the DisplayLink driver stops the lockups/refresh issues, but then obviously you can't use that screen.

These are things I've just noticed after around an hour of use too.

On the upside, the Duet Display monitor plays full HD content as fluidly as it does natively on my iPad Mini Retina, and the screen touch support is pretty cool too.
I'm going to wait until the developer has released a few updates before I decide if it's a better solution in general or not.
