Microsoft's HD-500 ("Display Dock"), the Magic Sauce Behind Continuum

From DailyTech: Continuum is arguably the most compelling Windows 10 feature in the smartphone space. The premise is elegant and simple. Connect a Windows 10 smartphone like a Lumia or compatible third party handset to a monitor and your phone behaves like a PC, outputting to the bigscreen the kind of interface you'd usually see on a Windows 10 laptop or desktop.

Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) first teased at the feature late last year, demoed it in January, and officially announced it back in April at its BUILD conference, but details were a little on the light side. At its press event today, which featured the launch of the new high end Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950 XL Windows 10 devices, the software giant filled in most of the blanks on precisely how this will work.

For now, to leverage Continuum you will need to buy a proprietary accessory from Microsoft dubbed the Display Dock adapter. Based on the Microsoft Store listing, the hub also is known by a duller numeric name, the HD-500.
