Works Great with Windows 10 computers
on August 24, 2020
Posted by: Benny123
This product works great with varius windows 10 computers, the only downside I've found is the lack of support for Chrome OS laptops. It says it works great with "desktops and laptop computers," but does not work with Chromebooks.

Keeps lossing screen? Needs unplug!
on January 27, 2020
Posted by: Phili
I have used >10 of USB2VGAE3 on Windows 7 and recently upgraded to Windows 10 Professional.
Randomly in Windows 7/10 Prof, the second screen will be blank, we have to unplug the USB2VGA and plug back in to revival the screen. I have updated all drivers to Trigger V18.x already. No help either. Very ignoring!

several adapters
on February 11, 2019
Posted by: wilber
I use 4 of these on 2 computers with a 6 screen setup
and all work with no issues and have for several years. Much easier to setup and use than fooling with opening the computer and attempting to install multi monitor video cards (believe me I have tried) and way less expensive.

I wanted to use two monitors with my laptop and a friend suggested this product. It was really easy to set up and works great.

Works great, but don't, touch your touch screen
on September 4, 2016

Does what it's supposed to do, just one possible bug in the latest software that can cause a problem for you. If you have a touch screen computer, don't touch the screen on your computer, because the mouse arrow or pointer (whatever it's called) Will disappear. It disappears on my windows 10 computer as it is intended to do when you use the touch screen, then comes back when you use the mouse again. However the pointer or arrow will not return on a non touch screen monitor that is hooked up to your computer using this product, and I had to restore the computer and reinstall the software to fix the problem since that's the only way I knew how to. So if you don't want to do a bunch of unnecessary work, don't touch your touch screen on your laptop, notebok, or tablet, while using this product if you have the same problem I do, other than that works great.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am not an it person. Simply read on line how to easily hook up a second monitor to my home computer. Person recommended using an external USB VGA adapter. I made sure the connection would work with my monitor, purchased adapter, hooked up, setup and everything worked perfect. Couldn't have been easier. Perfect.

Does exactly what is advertised
on May 11, 2016
Posted by: iliace
A month ago, I received a new laptop at work (Dell Latitude E7450). It is amazing, except one thing: my old workstation had dual video adapters, which allowed me three external monitors (two via HDMI, one via VGA, using a docking station). The new one could only do two at a time. I purchased the USB2VGA from Startech, and it solved my problem by allowing me to have a third monitor attached to my laptop. Drawbacks: the fonts don't look as smooth, and I had to disable hardware graphics acceleration to make certain MS Office and browser products display correctly. Other than that, it works very well - I don't need any super video performance, so for my daily use this did exactly what is needed.
