Question 1

i Have a Laptop and my internal graphics card isn't working properly can this replace my internal grapics device and use an external monitor to work with the Laptop as my main screen?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure how you would ever get the trigger driver loaded.  If you could get the driver loaded, i think it would still be a challenge to get your operating system to recognize and utilize this monitor.  With both windows 7 and 8 an external driver must be loaded for proper operation.

Question 2

Recently purchased a Dell Latitude 15" 3000 Series.  Am told that to use 2 additional screens (in addition to the built in) i need a docking station.  Will this adapter do the trick or do i really need a docking station?  I feel as though Dell is trying to talk me into a $200 add-on.

Accepted Answer

I have a dell pc that has the video card builtin and no expansion slots. This adapter worked great to add an additional monitor (32" flat screen tv). Installation was simple. Downloaded software and change settings to dual monitors. Works well when I need 2 monitors, just plug the adapter into a usb port.

Question 3

how long is the cable?

Accepted Answer

8 inches

Question 4

Will there be any problems using this to play music from the SDRAM through my car radio USB port?

Accepted Answer

won't work that way... it's output device not an input device.. Your car radio would have to load drivers, to use this device.. Since a car radio usb port is for input media (flash drive), it's not for output devices.
