Review: Star Tech - Works great for what I need.
Review: PERFECT! Plug and go! - I went through a few of these to try and extend a 3rd monitor from my HP laptop. None of the USB-C versions worked on it. Not even the expensive docking station for HP! So I tried this USB-A one and I just plugged it in and boom, screen on! Did not create any drag on my system nor any flickering which I have experienced with other laptops with screen extensions. Very satisfied!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this USB Display Adapter compatible while using another manufacturer's USB Display Adapter device on a single system?**
A: Didnt work for me - I had previously purchased a StarTech VGA to USB adapter, note it didnt say anything about "DisplayLink" certified - used it for several months then work got me this same adapter - it stated during driver install that it was not compatible and one driver or the other had to be uninstalled - I tried to skip the uninstall but after that windows 7 would blue screen several times after reboot until I was forced to manually install the old driver myself.  I didnt explore any work/hack arounds.  However, it does work with multiple adapters of the same make or model - or maybe they just need to support DisplayLink

**Q: How is the lag on this device? can it smoothly play video?**
A: No lag issues here. It does a few weird graphical things but video works perfect.

**Q: can i use this backwards from cpu hdmi out to usb 3 monitor?**
A: No.

**Q: Does this product work on ubuntu 16?**
A: Works out of the box with on Ubuntu 17.10 with the latest Display Link driver (from  the Display Link website) installed.   Installed the driver without fanfare per the website instructions.  Plugged in the device after receiving it 2 days later and fired right up.  Crisp clean video no lag.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great on Chromebook Acer Spin 713, no driver/software needed, 1080p60fps video, no lag
*by C***G on February 10, 2025*

You NEED the USB3 DisplayLink version for an external monitor display with no lags running at 1080p60fps. I had the older USB2 DisplayLink and it was so laggy, so with this upgrade, all that is gone. Don't wait, it's worth the money. My default setup was limited to 2 external monitors and the laptop screen. But I really wanted 3 external monitors and laptop display for a total of 4 displays and this new setup just works... on my Chromebook Acer Spin 713, no drivers/software to load, and no lag even with HD video. This is absolutely the best device ever. Also, since the DisplayLink functions as its own video card, you might be able to add even more monitors if you wish... but make sure you have a powerful laptop/computer to push out the graphics. I highly recommend this device for anyone wanting to add extra external monitors especially on Chromebooks.
