(More customer reviews)If you own a newer mac, it's probably an Imac, Mac Mini, a MacBook, or (if you're like me) all three. All great computers, but one disadvantage, you can't add a dual monitor video card. With this video adapter you can not only add another monitor, you can add up to four. I have three 24" monitors extending the desktop of my 24" Imac. The adapter also allows me to add monitors to my MacBook. They run off of the USB bus power so there is no power cord to worry about.
I have found that if you own a Mac, you want to get the white Arkview adapters. There are plenty of these adapters available for less money with just the UGA label(the black ones), but they don't seem to work right out of the box. I have purchased several of them from various places, and found that I can only initialize the black ones by plugging in the white one first.
You need one adapter for each monitor you want to add. You have to buy the Arkview USB-2011 USB to 2.0 DVI/HDMI/SVGA Display to run a 24" monitor, but if you have smaller displays, you can get the lower priced ones that run a 1280x1024 or less display. Be sure to go to the DisplayLink website for the latest drivers. The disk that comes in the box is a mini CD. Those don't work very well with slot loading optical drives. I am using OS X 10.6 and having no trouble at all with my displays.
If you want to do hardcore video editing and extreme graphics work, this adapter probably won't suit your needs. If you want to run Office, iTunes, Mail, Windows XP in VM Fusion, your browser, and a couple of other applications all at the same time, these adapters will work (they do for me). You can spend a few thousand dollars on a MacPro with dual video cards or you can buy an extra monitor and the adapter, and add them to your existing Mac for under $300.
