New USB 2.0 SVGA Adaptor for 2nd Monitor Output

Postby gregcolby » Sun Nov 28, 2004 11:47 pm

I went down to our local computer tech shop and discovered a new USB plug in product that negates the need to purchase a dual video SWVGA card. It is a lot cheaper as well and does exactly the same job. Also means you don't have to open your computer up to install anything - just plug it in to your USB port and lad the installation software and away you go.

Hi Greg,

This sounds interesting but I don't quite understand what it is... Please can you post a link to a website that features it or perhaps give a bit more information?

Thanks a lot,
Christian.

Christian,

This is rather interesting....

They have all sort of devices for the usb ports. This particular one allows you to connect another independent display device which may be useful for the projector.

God bless,
William

Thanks William,

This product looks really good and much cheaper for laptop expansion than a PCMCIA solution...

Has anybody out there tried using one yet?
If you have then please share your experiences... :wink:

Success with USB SVGA expansion

Postby gregcolby » Mon Nov 29, 2004 11:09 pm

We purchased one to plug in to our lap top for our first use of Zionworx the other Sunday and it worked beatifully - a simple matter of plugging in to the USB port and loading the installatoin software - all up it took about 5 minutes, very simple - and then followed the instructions that Christian gives for setting up the sytem in control panel and away we went.

I actually nearly cried when it all worked so good - it was like a moment with God!!

I have been so excited about te program and the usb plug in - people at churhc think I'm a bit weird - but then they thought that before I introduced Zionworx!

Thanks for sharing your success Greg! :)

Which USB adaptor did you buy in the end?
Perhaps you could let us know...

Cheers,
Christian.

We got the exact one that is advertised at the link William Tink posted above. Like I said, dead easy to install, cheaper and far easier for naive users like myself than it would have been if we got an actual dual monitor svga card that would have required opening up our lap top to install!

I give this 5 thumbs up :D
