Downloaded drivers then connected hardware and it immediately worked on both my PC's. Nice work Star Tech!

I've tried this on various set ups, but unfortunately it is VERY slow. You couldn't watch a video on it for example. It is really only useful if you want an additional monitor that will be used for very static/non-moving information on the screen. So if you only need it for something that doesn't move on your screen, then this is fine - for example, you might need an additional screen to always show your emails or to type word documents. If you want to do anything that involves moving anything around on the screen (like a graphic designer or stock traders moving graphs for example) or involves anything moving on the screen (like a video for example) then do NOT get this, it's really low quality.

I was not expecting blazing speed, but this is painfully slow. This is for a third display, and I can drag a window from this one across the middle to the far one, and it is still visible on this display. I also have the problem with the pointer disappearing when you leave the display and come back. It has to hover over some responsive control before the pointer appears.

Just installed 2 USB2DVIE3 adapters on a HP laptop. Looked good at first - set the proper transition from monitor to monitor for the 3 displays monitor -laptop - monitor. Mouse arrow suddenly disappears on the side monitors. Reappears when the usb adapter is disconnected and reconnected, but after a couple mouse transitions the arrow disappears (right click's work, but no arrow) on the two monitors on the Startech adapters.

Worked out of the box form Windows. Really great! When booting into Ubuntu though it does not respond and I can't find any drivers available.

This product worked great to set up a second monitor at home for my work from home job. I was please that it was easy to set up and a quality product. At one time the screen froze but I unplugged and re plugged in and the problem solved quickly. I was sent this item for free in exchange for an honest opinion. Hands down a breeze to connect and makes my job much easier.

I'm pretty satisfied with the adapter, but I do want to note that I received the adapter as a free sample. I think it's pretty self explanatory to set up, but the length of the adapter could be longer. For the most part, the adapter served its purpose, but there were a few times where I experienced display issues!

I was pleased with the adapter`s performance. I should mention that I received a free sample of this item to review. Installation was simple and the 2nd monitor worked fine. The USB connection was an easy way to add a 2nd monitor, however this did mean I had one less USB port to use for other things. I also wish the USB cord was slightly longer to allow more options where to place my computer and monitor. Overall I was happy with this adapter, but wish it was also compatible with Mac.

I received this adapter for free in exchange for my honest opinion, and it was just what I have been looking for. At work, we use up to 3 monitors at a time and with just a laptop at home, I could never really take advantage of our work-from-home option, as switching back and forth between windows is next to impossible for our projects. After receiving this adapter though, I can happily say that my work week is much less stressful now that I have the freedom to work from my home computer. It was very easy to install the drivers and I have not had any issues thus far with performance. It brought up a perfect 2048x1800 display on my second monitor and has remained stable and reliable.

I use this device at work, connected to a docking station that shares 4 users. None of us have any problems. Very happy with it.

Bought a few of these for a client that had a mix of workstation and form factors. Thought it would be a easy solution to get dual monitors on all their workstations. The performance of this device is not very good. Users are just coping and pasting text from a word doc to email not like they are trying to game with them. Tech support recommends disabling Aero and all the eye candy features to get it to work somewhat better. I personally wouldn't use it so it's hard for me to sell it to my clients. #shouldofjustgotnewvideocards

Super little device to cheaply give you a 2nd screen, newer PC's might have display ports, but until then this is great. Very occasionally a browser window from one screen may jump to the other on my w7 machine. I'm not sure what clicking the "fixed position" mode does on the software that came with it. I will buy more for other PC's & laptops.

Got this for a client who wanted a 3rd monitor on his laptop for sticking outlook on. It's a USB monitor adapter so you can't expect to do anything fancy.. works fine. The install took about 2 minutes and worked properly right away.

Why this company would make only some of their products available for Mac and then some not is beyond me.
