Question 1

So does this increase your video card to run cad on it?

Accepted Answer

No, it allows you to connect a monitor to your PC using USB port.  Allows you to have more than 1 monitor without purchasing a different video card.

Question 2

My new motherboard didn't come with any way to output to video, but i have enough USB ports. Could I use this for connecting my computer to one monitor for the lack of having a VGA or HDMI port on my motherboard?

Accepted Answer

Since per the instructions (and before it will work)you have to install software to your computer I don't think you would be able to use this as a primary monitor. It seems to me what you need is a video graphics card to plug into a slot on your motherboard.

Question 3

Is this compatible with Windows 8?

Accepted Answer

The connector is the best investment I had to start of the school year. It installed easily and have never given me any trouble. It is great to have dual monitors that flow from one to the other.

Question 4

I have an older super vga lcd projector.  My new laptop does not have a vga port.  will this allow hookup of the projector to the new computer?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes.. this is basicly a usb video adapter.. as long as you have a usb port, you can use this. Comes with drivers.

Question 5

how long is the cord with this thing?

Accepted Answer

The USB cord is 20" long from the base of the unit to the tip of the USB connector.

Question 6

I have 2 monitors, and a gaming laptop with 1 hdmi output, Im wondering If i buy this product will it work to connect my other monitor? and not mirror the image but extend it.

Accepted Answer

The product works perfectly. You can use that to clone your display or to extend windows display. I have three monitors on  my computer and head one time I had four. I bought four of these adapters to put on my other computers. I have even given one to someone as a gift.

I am sorry but I can not answer this question.  We are using these on PCs running Windows 7 and 10.

Question 8

can I connect 4 LCDs to one desk with 4 USB2VGA adapter?
What is the MAX distance it support?

Accepted Answer

I have found that only one will work. The driver does not recognize more than one adapter connection at a time.

Question 9

Does this adapter support Win10?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we are using it on a Windows 10 Surface.

Question 10

I am looking to power THREE different projectors in 1024 x 768 resolution with a web page containing multiple scrolling text.  These projectors are 4000+ lumens on a 12 foot x 9 foot screen.

How feasible is this with this product?

Accepted Answer

Should work well for up to 4 scrolling or static text displays, but the adapters are a bit slow / choppy playing games or movies.
