EXACTLY what I was looking for!

"I bought one of these because I love screen real estate and I needed something to add an extra monitor when my laptop is docked at home. My laptop only has a VGA and a DVI connection so it can only run 2 monitors at once. With this USB to VGA adapter I am able to add a 3rd monitor. The adapter works really well especially for applications where there isn't much going on on the screen, like keeping your email op..." Read Full Review »

False Advertising, Awful Product-AVOID!!

"This thing is TOTAL GARBAGE!. Do ***NOT*** buy it![...] said it would do 1600 x 1200 - total lie; max. is 1280 x 1024.Second: at its highest res, 1280 x 1024, the display locks up after only several minutes. Disabling it and re-enabling gets it working again, but who the devil is going to do that every 4 minutes? Third: yes, that video display lags immensely. I’m writing code, so fast screen update is not needed..." Read Full Review »
