[Android] DisplayLink adopter worth for screen mirroring? CPU overhead? Latency?

[AlbanRampon]

Hello,

When you watch a film, you are effectively asking your phone to do transcoding from whatever the film is encoded in to the DisplayLink DL3 format.
If the codec used to encode the film is not available as a hardware decoder on the phone, this means the CPU has to do both decode and encode, that can be a bit taxing for a phone, especially at it takes place full screen.

The text editor use case is much easier, as there's nothing to decode first, and not much to encode then, even if you type fast!

I will try this and get back to you. I'll use some random DivX, a similar adapter and plug this to a Full HD TV similar to what you're likely to find in hotels.

Kind regards,
Alban
