This USB to DVI adapter can be used to mirror your primary display and show the same image on both screens or extend your desktop to double your workspace.
The small form factor of the USB video adapter can be used with up to 4 additional (5 total) USB video adapters. Now create multiple DVI connections and add additional displays quickly and easily, all without having to open the computer case to add extra video cards.

Just installed 2 USB2DVIE3 adapters on a HP laptop. Looked good at first – set the proper transition from monitor to monitor for the 3 displays monitor -laptop – monitor. Mouse arrow suddenly disappears on the side monitors. Reappears when the usb adapter is disconnected and reconnected, but after a couple mouse transitions the arrow disappears (right click’s work, but no arrow) on the two monitors on the Startech adapters.

I was not expecting blazing speed, but this is painfully slow. This is for a third display, and I can drag a window from this one across the middle to the far one, and it is still visible on this display. I also have the problem with the pointer disappearing when you leave the display and come back. It has to hover over some responsive control before the pointer appears.

Downloaded drivers then connected hardware and it immediately worked on both my PC’s. Nice work Star Tech!

This product worked great to set up a second monitor at home for my work from home job. I was please that it was easy to set up and a quality product. At one time the screen froze but I unplugged and re plugged in and the problem solved quickly. I was sent this item for free in exchange for an honest opinion. Hands down a breeze to connect and makes my job much easier.

Worked out of the box form Windows. Really great! When booting into Ubuntu though it does not respond and I can’t find any drivers available.

I’ve tried this on various set ups, but unfortunately it is VERY slow. You couldn’t watch a video on it for example. It is really only useful if you want an additional monitor that will be used for very static/non-moving information on the screen. So if you only need it for something that doesn’t move on your screen, then this is fine – for example, you might need an additional screen to always show your emails or to type word documents. If you want to do anything that involves moving anything around on the screen (like a graphic designer or stock traders moving graphs for example) or involves anything moving on the screen (like a video for example) then do NOT get this, it’s really low quality.

I’m pretty satisfied with the adapter, but I do want to note that I received the adapter as a free sample. I think it’s pretty self explanatory to set up, but the length of the adapter could be longer. For the most part, the adapter served its purpose, but there were a few times where I experienced display issues!
