Tritton TRI-UV100 SEE2 USB 2.0 SVGA Adapter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)UPDATE: Commenter Mosley reports that this isn't compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7.
If you need to add an extra monitor to use with Windows XP, and can't use a standard video card, then this is for you.
On the other hand, this can't match the quality of a standard video card, and motion will look somewhat choppy. If an extra PCI or IDE video card would work with your system, then that would be the better choice.
PROS
* Can be connected with only a USB 2.0 port.
* You can plug or unplug it from the USB port without problems, and the monitor will be immediately added to or removed from your desktop.
* Up to 1280x1024 resolution at 16 bits (near true color), with 32-bit true color available for 1152x864 and lower resolutions. (You may need to download the newest drivers for high resolution).
* Can support a flicker-free refresh rate of 85 Hz at the top resolution.
* The display on the attached monitor is crisp and clean.
* Small, attractive design with a blue LED.
* Powered through the USB port.
* I've been using one without a problem for nearly a year.
CONS
* While the newest XP drivers (downloadable from Tritton) are easy to install and have passed WHQL testing, the older drivers that may still ship with the device aren't as polished.
* Attaching the device to a different USB port means installing the drivers again (apparently the manufacturer saved money by not giving each device a unique electronic serial number).
* Motion on the attached monitor is somewhat choppy. It's fine for things like email, word processing, or web browsing, but it's not fast enough for games or video.
* DirectX 3D windows (including any DirectX9 window) won't work. This means that some games can't display if you drag them to the attatched monitor.
* The driver puts an icon in the Taskbar's notification area (system tray), with no way to get rid of the icon. (On the other hand, the icon's popup menu may be convenient.)
* The connector is standard VGA, not DVI.
* Not compatible with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (according to Mosley's comment).
Again, it's a good device, as long as you don't want to play games on it.
