(More customer reviews)This tool makes all the difference! I've been using multiple monitors since 2000. Using multiple video cards in older versions of windows was pretty straightforward, but the new versions have made it truly painful. Plugable fixes that. It's incredibly fast and stable, and it does video (e.g. Netflix and Youtube) - those are my three requirements. I run three monitors - two from a dual head card, and one from Plugable. The Plugable device gives me great, smooth video, even at full screen, and for applications, there's no loss of speed when I drag windows from one screen to another, and no speed loss in applications, whether installed or cloud-based applications. With multiple cards in Windows7, I had all those problems - it was useless - but Plugable is brilliant, because it works off of the one video card engine. A dual head card now runs three monitors - simple and effective. And I use the heck out of my screens - but still, it goes right along with me. I tried one of those units they sell at Best Buy, btw, and it was rubbish - horrible - it wouldn't even boot. But Pluggable worked out of the box. Also, I had a couple of support questions. And they were solved almost instantly. Plugable is very responsive in their support community. I noticed the 3rd monitor wouldn't wake from power-saving mode. On updating the driver, it worked flawlessly. So this thing is saving me money, already, on lower power consumption. Get the latest driver directly from the DisplayLink site - don't even bother w. the CD - always get the current one. The other issue was my own settings. I had the 3rd monitor set to 16-bit, but my two primary monitors to 32-bit, so the 3rd monitor didn't want me to run fullscreen youtube or Netflix videos. Flipped that setting to 32-bit and it said thank you, please give me video. OK, it didn't say that, but it could have. I can't believe what this little thing will do. Lovely, lovely. One tip - plug it directly into a primary USB 2.0 port. I plugged mine into a keyboard USB port and it warned me it will perform better getting its juice directly. Video is so important to me, that I didn't even experiment - I just did it. This thing jut works. I'm so, sooo very happy. Thank you Plugable. We're BFFs for life, now.
