DisplayLink - Multi-Display Setups with USB

Zitat

We might still be in the early stages of DisplayLink's products, but already the adapters feel like a matured product. I ran into no severe (or even moderate) complications during all my use. The prime hitch was the lag on the Gateway monitor, but I am still leaning towards pointing blame at the display rather than the adapter.

Besides regular desktop work, high-definition videos transmitted fine as well. I don't have a Blu-ray or HD DVD player to test out 1080p content, but I tested downloaded 720p content and it ran fine. I believe as long as you are running non-full-screen applications, you shouldn't feel the effects of lag with whatever you are doing, but I could be wrong where 1080p is concerned. I plan to test that out once able.

As of right now, there are not that many companies who produce DisplayLink products in the US, but the ones that do can be found here. Both eVGA and Kensington will soon be releasing very similar adapters to what I used during my own testing here, and you can expect them to retail for around $99.

It has hardly been two weeks since I first learned of DisplayLink, and already I am interested in seeing what else they have up their sleeve... namely, chipsets that support higher resolutions. Pricing might be high for some, at around $99 per adapter, but to overlook purchasing a second GPU and the ability to hook up to six monitors will wipe out concern over that. That said, I do hope that the technology catches on fast so that prices will go down, and as a result, become readily available for everyone.
