Hi Robin, Yes. DisplayLink USB Graphic Adapters. I have been using a version 1.0 adapter for several years on a 1024x786 desktop system. And also a Plugable UGA-2K-A USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI Graphics Adapter (version 2.0) on a laptop driving a HANNS-G HH251 at 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz, both having no issues whatsoever right out-of-the-box. In my opinion the DisplayLink hardware I have purchased was well worth the money. I don't have any experience with any other vendors, so don't have a hands-on comparison to share with you. As you will notice if you peruse the web site, DisplayLink technology is used in many non-DisplayLink branded adapters. As an aside, in an MS lab I managed several years back, I 'think' we had eight version 1.0's running a variety of differing types of monitors off one Dell desktop, for a total of twelve monitors. The DisplayLink web site states this: "You can add up to six additional monitors to your PC or four additional monitors to your Mac". I KNOW we had more than six running off one box. It's quite possible there were several additional monitors running out a dual or quad display adapter. Ahhh, Microsoft embellishments. What can I say. :^) Find them here: http://www.displaylink.com/shop/adapters And finally, hello List Members. I suppose this means that I officially outed myself from lurking with this post. It is good to be here.
