You would expect one of the premiere video adapter manufacturers to make a great USB-to-VGA adapter, and with eVGA you would be right. The UV Plus has the ability to clone the main screen or extend the view in all directions. With the ability to add a total of 8 UV Pluses to your system you can have a screen area 9 times the size of your main monitor.

The UV Plus supports resolutions from 640x480 to 1680x1050/1600x1200 all with 32-bit color depth delivering the exceptional image quality you'd expect. The kit comes with everything you'll need including a retractable USB cable, a DVI-to-VGA adapter and a carry pouch to take it on the road with you.

Decent USB Video

Reviewed By: on 6/6/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: Far better performance than older generations of USB video adapters. Common resolutions supported and easy and reliable installation on 32 bit Windows. Viable replacement for office computers wanting to add extra monitors.

Cons: Performance of the adapters seemed to get considerably worse when adding a 2nd UV Plus+ adapter. Performance difference in main displays and USB displays became much more apparent. Hoping this is improved with driver updates.

No 64 bit Win drivers yet. No linux drivers yet.

Other Thoughts: Main Displays on Radeon Mobility x1600
1680x1050
1920x1200

Additional Displays on UC Plus+
1440x900
1440x900

Nice little adapters but I wouldn't recommend using more than one until they improve the efficiency of the drivers a bit further.

Works as billed

Reviewed By: Rockycpa on 5/28/2008

Tech Level: high - Ownership: less than 1 day

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: This was probably the easiest thing I have installed. Worked right out of the box. Probably about 5 minute setup.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I had previously purchased a Matrox video card for $200. I have an R61 thinkpad with an advanced docking station. I am a cpa & need a 3rd monitor for spreadsheets and such. The Matrox card kept freezing up and finally died. I wasted many hours dealing with this. This card was unbelievably easy to install, works great and I cannot tell any difference from the other 2 screens

Works great with MacBook Pro

Reviewed By: wcg on 10/30/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Good value, easy to use (on Mac). Small and light, you can easily travel with this. Performance is ok but you should expect high end graphics performance from this device. It works great at max resolution 1680x1050 for office apps and web surfing. You can playback video in small to medium sized windows. Full screen is too choppy.

Cons: You must get Mac driver from Display Link group directly: http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.html (the 1.5 beta driver seems to work just fine with Mac OS X 10.6 - Snow Leopard.)

Other Thoughts: If you need to drive two external monitors with resolution up to 1680x1050 then this is great choice.

Works as advertised

Reviewed By: Kylose on 10/19/2009

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

Pros: - Works as advertised.
- Smaller than expected.
- Automatic setup in Windows 7.

Cons: - Doesn't fold my laundry for me.

Other Thoughts: I bought this hoping it would work under Windows 7 RTM and it does. Installation was handled entirely by Windows and I had to do very little to get it to install. Moving windows around is slightly choppy compared to my main screen but TBH you won't notice it after 5 minutes. Surfing and scrolling on web pages is close enough to the original not to notice.

Play a game of "Where's the Windows box?"

Reviewed By: neolefty on 9/22/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

Pros: I do scientific programming for astronomy, so I run Linux on my main desktop. But from time to time, it's convenient to have Windows too. So I was running XP under VMware Player. But the VMware display was slowing down my machine and taking up display real estate.

I thought, hey, I've got this extra display (it's true), so I bought one of these adapters refurb, routed it to the virtual machine, installed XP drivers, switched XP to use only the USB display adapter and not the VMware-provided virtual display (also manually added a line to the VMware config file) and Voila! Virtual machine has physical display! It works marvelously.

The amazing thing is not that it works at all, but that it works *reliably*. No trouble at all. Boots up clean every time, and never loses integrity. Doesn't overheat. Big kudos to both VMware and DisplayLink.

Plus, now I have a game I can play with my colleagues. It's called, "Can you find the Windows box?"

Cons: That cheesy USB cable it comes with. It works, but if it ever breaks, I can replace it with a standard 4-to-6 cable anyway.

I can now watch Hulu on the Windows VM while I work, although not quite 16x12. Oops. Must exercise self-control.

Other Thoughts: Oh yeah, and I use Synergy to share keyboard and mouse with the Windows machine, instead of VMware's built-in support, which is totally confused by having this extra display that came from nowhere.
