And a DVI to VGA converter and a DVI to HDMI converter that is articulated in two different directions for easy use at any angle. To continue on, also in the box is a standard medium length USB cable. Also, there are some specs in the back and some other information on using it, including what happens when the computer goes into standby and for multiple users. There is a bit of conflicting information on the website about whether it works or not with a Mac, apparently it does, and this device also works with Linux as long as you are a power user apparently.

There are instructions for Windows computers and the Mac. Instructions are simple and straightforward and written in regular easily readable English.
#Displaylink usb graphics adapter not driver#
There is a driver DVD at the bottom and a manual in a couple different languages. The inner part box holds the components, with a folding cover with all the contents inside, neatly packaged with a cardboard spacer and each item inside a plastic bag. This looks like something you’re going to find in a nice computer store, with screenshots, labels, logo, descriptions and specs and features right on the outer box and even raised stickers. The outer packaging sleeve is slick and high quality, no generic badly designed boxes with bad English here. Mine arrived quickly, thanks to Amazon Prime courtesy of our friend at Solar Gravity. To quote Brad Pitt from ‘Se7en’ – “What’s in the Box?” Amazon and eBay have about the same prices as well as a number of other online retailers. The prices around $35 to $45, depending on where you get it. There are a lot of companies that rebrand this exact model under their own name or sell a generic version but they are all made by the same manufacturer.
I opted for the moderately priced DisplayLink USB to VGA / DVI / HDMI Graphics Adapter. Now there’s a lot of different ones out there, some are quite cheap and have fairly low resolution, especially if you are using USB 2.0. One of the many relatively cheap pretty good quality USB video adapters would fit the bill perfectly. So all I needed was a quick and easy way to add another monitor without buying a replacement video card or an additional one. The third monitor would be used for displaying things like code, master previews of what I’m working on, draggable tools, graphic elements, and other sorts of auxiliary data. But I didn’t really need to spend that much money for a replacement card or another card when I don’t need to have a high-performance refresh rate or high performance of any sort past a good display and resolution. So I could have either replaced my current video card or added a second one, or just done without. But one thing my graphics card did not have the ability to do was connect to more than three monitors. I’m not a gamer but I do need a fairly good computer, especially for working with Photoshop and large graphic and photo projects as well as doing the occasional bit of video editing. I work a lot on websites and with graphics, photos and programming for websites so having multiple monitors is extremely useful. But more because the whole setup process was so quick and seamless and everything was working so well that I had it all running in no time, and there’s not a whole lot more to say but that it works perfectly!
Virtual machine screen flickering.This review may be a little shorter than some of my reviews, not because I’m hurrying the review or writing a quick one necessarily.
