It's not the monitor that has the limitations, it's the USB-to-display-adapter-using-your-CPU-as-a-graphics-card with the limitations. Yes, it has problems, but I haven't seen anything better, have you?

In this case, OS X disabled the demanding screen savers because it detected your "graphics card" is not powerful enough. Sounds reasonable to me! Maybe graphics cards manufacturers will come out with real external graphics cards soon, now that USB 3 and Thunderbolt are out.
