I can't tell if the VGA output was working. That is I have to test it with another VGA display and the setup is so onerous that I don't think folk can make it work half the time.
Besides the box may be bum.
As to USB, it's not a solution if you were to use such for playing a movie.
Be sure to look at products like the VEEBEAM on amazon.
