## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very usefull device
*by D***S on 1 April 2013*

The use of a second monitor has been an integral part of my computing experience for a few years now in both desktop and laptop (at home or work).I have recently begun contemplating the use of a third display (and possibly more) ever since I have begun using virtual machines extensively. To my dismay I found out that the laptop I use as my main machine (3 yr old model) does not support the use of both its graphics output ports (VGA + HDMI) at the same time. Conveniently enough at roughly the same time period I came across the entry for the plugable USB2 UGA multi-display adapter in amazon. I thought it was worth a try as the price was not prohibitive for a bit of experimentation.I was positively impressed by the email I received before the product was delivered pointing me towards more online information as well as the latest drivers (thumbs up for good customer support).When the UGA adapter arrived, the installation process in Windows 7 Ultimate went without any problems whatsoever. The integration with the graphics interface in windows is flawless as far as I am concerned.On the down side I have observed a bit of a lag upon occasion on the third display (the one connected on the USB port via the adapter) expecially when playing back video on this display with loads of other things going on in the laptop. I take this to mean that there is some computing overhead in the use of the UGA adapter but I have not looked into this any further as it does not bother me for my intended use of the product.I find it really interesting (and convenient for my case) that when I am running a virtual machine (for example linux) and I have this displayed in the monitor connected to the UGA adapter there is no detectable lag even when playing video in the virtual machine (the device driver for the adapter is still running in the host system which for my case in Win 7).Summarizing, I find the UGA adapter very usefull with right pricing and up to spec operation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very impressed - best solution for laptops
*by J***M on 10 August 2011*

After doing some research on the Web I ordered two Plugable UGA-165 USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI adaptors as they seem to score the best with other users.Well, I am happy to say I was not disappointed. Actually I am absolutely delighted with this product's performance and quality of hardware and software.Hardware wise everything works exactly as advertised. Software installation went without a single glitch, and it perfectly integrated itself into Windows7 and my existing Matrox TripleHead2Go environment.No effect on CPU usage, RAM usage is about 1% extra to what it was before installation.Simply put - it does what I wanted, it does it very well and I would definitely recommend this piece of kit.My work laptop - Lenovo T410 (Core i5 M520 @2.40GHz, 4GB RAM, Windows7 Enterprise)My total combined monitor space:- laptop monitor (as main) 1400x900 rez- three 1280x1024 monitors connected through TripleHead2Go Digital- two 1280x1024 each connected through Plugable UGA-165

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honesty
*by L***N on 5 March 2014*

I normally am very reserved about products, and take ages to write a review. This is the first time that I have felt urged to comment on anything so quickly. This item is excellent. I still have lots to look at and no doubt am going to need help from the Seller. I have tried the cheaper options on eBay, and they range into the hundreds of pounds for cleverly disguised clones. I paid £37 for this. It installed first time, but I would like to see some software that interfaces with Intel, for adjustment. I have a DELL Inspiron 15R. I love it, but nobody on the whole www has come up with an unqualified answer on how to add a third independent monitor to my system.All I can say that after five hours of receiving it, I am gobsmacked. I hope it lasts. Another "Hobby".Buy it. It is the Tops!
