Uses
Most people use it to gain a 2nd or 3rd monitor for their laptop. You gain the benefits of USB, including plug and play connectivity. Multitask with a dedicated monitor for each document or application. Connect 3 or 4 external monitors to your laptop. Connect displays or projectors at a distance with inexpensive USB cabling.
Performance
The adapter works by installing drivers that render 2D/3D with your computer's CPU and GPU, and then compress and transmit the pixels that change over USB. Dual core or 2Ghz or better CPU recommended. With USB 2.0's 480Mbps bus limit, motion video and 3D gaming is not recommended at higher resolutions.
Compatibility
Windows 7/Vista/XP drivers installed automatically via Windows Update. 32 and 64 bit supported for both Vista and Win7. GPU is used for 2D/3D rendering on Windows, requiring Intel, nVidia, or ATI primary WDDM driver with Aero enabled. Mac OS X 10.4+ Intel 32/64-bit supports up to 4 USB monitors with driver v. 1.7 or later (available at Plugable website). Lion users must upgrade to 10.7.2 for OS fixes (OS X 10.7.3 not recommended). Open source available for Linux and other platforms. Linux requires manual configuration - for advanced users only.
