Product Description

Featuring DisplayLink's DL-195 USB 2.0 graphics chipset, the Plugable UGA-2K-A enables multiple monitors with any laptop or desktop (one adapter required per monitor, up to six on Windows PCs). Get the full benefits of USB, including plug and play connectivity, thin and flexible cabling, and ability to connect via USB 2.0 hubs and repeaters. Multitask with a dedicated monitor for each document or application.

Performance

USB graphics adapters work by rendering 2D/3D with your computer's CPU and GPU, then compressing and transmitting the pixels that change over USB. Dual core or 2Ghz or better CPU recommended. Recommended for web and applications, not 3D gaming or motion video playback.

Connectivity

The adapter package includes the main USB 2.0 to DVI-I adapter, a USB 2.0 cable and hardware adapters for the different connector types (DVI-I to VGA/D-Sub and DVI-I to HDMI). HDMI connections are graphics only--this adapter has no audio function. Supports monitors and PC-compatible TVs up to 2048x1152 or 1920x1200. Powered via USB; the adapter has an LED indicator light.

Supported Operating Systems

Windows 8/7/Vista 64 and 32 bit, XP SP2+ 32 bit only - We recommend downloading DisplayLink's newest driver.
Mac - Driver supported for OS X 10.8.3. Please note: Macs do not currently support audio via USB 3.0.
Requires Intel / AMD / nVidia main GPU and driver with Windows Aero enabled. USB graphics requires dual core or 2 Ghz or better CPU for best performance. Not compatible with ARM-based Windows (MS Surface). Windows RT, Vista Home Basic, Win7 Starter Edition disable multiple monitors and are not supported. No supported drivers are available for Linux at this time.USB graphics devices with drivers from different chipset vendors (MCT, SMSC, DisplayLink, etc.) should not be mixed on the same system.

5.0 out of 5 stars recommeded - win7 64 3 Feb 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
Using two-screens at work, I thought it would be great to add an additional screen when working at home with the laptop.

Not much to say apart that it works under win7 64 & I'm quite happy to recommend the Plugable UGA to anyone who's still wondering about getting it.

03/2012 update:
i use it with on Toshiba laptop which, like many other laptops, has a VGA output. Now, with the help of the "Plugable" software, i can use the VGA as a second screen. Meaning i don't even need the USB "Plugable" hardware!
If you fancy saving few bucks, you could try to D/L the software from the website as it might work for you too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with my Dell M6500 24 Nov 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Bought this as have a Dell M6500 laptop and wanted to get 3 monitors working with the Dell e-Port Plus docking station that I dock the M6500 in. I already had 2 monitors working from DisplayPort adapters on the e-Port Plus docking station but could not get a third working. In the end decided to use this UGA-2K adapter device off a spare USB port on the e-Port docking station and power a third monitor off it. Is working very well, now have 3 monitors running from my Dell M6500 with the screen extended across all 3 monitors, 2 @ 24inch dell monitors SP2309W 2048 x 1152 (one on DisplayPort to HDMI and the other using USB with this UGA-2K adapter to DVI) and 1 @ 27inch Samsung Monitor Monitor 2560 x 1440 using Displayport to DVI with a BizLink DVI adapter to get the full resolution on the 27 inch. Just thought I'd provide these details in case anyone else is trying to set-up a Dell M6500 with e-Port Plus Docking station with 3 monitors. This was the only way I could get it working in the end using this UGA-2K device as the third adapter.

BizLink Adapter that powers the 27inch screen (couldn't get full resolution without this adapter)

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably simple 23 Nov 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this product (with a DVI cable) so that I could run two external monitors from my laptop to give three screens when working from home.

This is what happens: you open the box and take out the adapter, connect it to your monitor, connect the other end to a USB drive, let Windows update find the driver and install it, configure your screens' positions and resolutions through the display option in control panel.

That's it. So simple. And it just works.

Oh, and download Zbar so that you have a taskbar at the bottom of each monitor.

EDIT - One month on...

Still marvel at the simplicity of this thing but there is one thing I wanted to add; it hates displaying IE9, it just can't do it. I have to run any website that requires IE (a lot of them in financial services)on a different monitor. A pain, not too much of one, although it has put me off the idea of multiple adaptors for even more screens. Of course it could also be that it is my laptop that is the problem...
