Dumb Terminal?

[Entelin]

Yes it would not work well, remember your putting all the graphics over
the wire, anything that is dependant on higher FPS will not work well or
at all such as movies, games etc. Also hardware accelerated games will
not work at all due to the fact that it would not pass the graphics
through your video card because its not going to the physical screen
attached to your video card.
