Was browsing to see if the recent deals on the Lumia 950/XL from the Microsoft Store had any affect on the prices at Harvey Norman and discovered the Microsoft Display Dock can be had for $98AU + postage. Regular price is $149.95. Not as sweet a deal as getting it free with the purchase of the 950/XL, but still decent value for anyone looking to experience Continuum.

Easily connect your Lumia 950 or 950XL to this Display Dock and do more with an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, for maximum accessibility to your device's functionality. For a PC-like experience powered by your phone, the Microsoft Lumia Display Dock makes the transition seamless.

How is this different from the really cheap OTG type splitter boxes/cables? Those can also hook phones into HDMI displays and have a few USB ports for devices also. Can even charge the phone at the same time with some of the better splitters.
