Tablets with DisplayLink that can be used as a second screen to a laptop

Is there any Windows 8 Pro tablet maker that allows you to use it as a second monitor to a laptop?

Any news on this ? I would love to use my surface rt as a 3rd screen ( I already have a Targus dock using displaylink technology)

The problem is that unless the tablet has a VGA or an HDMI INPUT, it cannot be used as a second screen. I have given up waiting and I have bought the new AOC USB 3.0 LCD screen. It works really well. It is better than the Lenovo. I suggest you look at that device as it has DisplayLink on board.

There are other options like CINQ but this is smaller and more expensive and is not USB 3.0.

You can buy the AOC screen at amazon.
