FINALLY! That's what I thought when I first heard about the new Other World Computing (OWC) USB 2.0 Display Adapter. With the adapter, MAC and PC users can add an additional display with ease. Additionally, there will be no need for additional AC since it's bus powered. It seemed that adding additional monitors were a chore with some computers, but not anymore. Users simply utilize an unused USB 2.0 port without the work and costs of installing a video card in a computer. Productivity for most users will increase since you can keep multiple windows open at the same time, doubling the viewing space (assuming your second display is the same size as the first). For example, if you have one display dedicated to photos being worked in Adobe Photoshop, the second monitor can house the screens for mail programs and messenger applications.
When I got my unit to test, I followed the press release's simple instructions to just plug the device into the USB port, attach the display adapter and then load the included driver software. Nothing to it and mysquare footage of viewing space increased in just minutes. The OWC USB 2.0 Display Adapter also connects to HDMI, DVI, and VGA equipped displays. The OWC USB 2.0 Display Adapter is packaged with everything you need except the extra monitor. Included is a four-foot USB cable, software and user guide along with adapters for USB to DVI, DVI to VGA and DVI to HDMI.
