UV Plus+ UV-16 USB 2.0 Video Adapter
EVGA introduces the new UV Plus+. Take any available USB port on your Desktop
or Notebook and turn it into an additional video output for use with another
display. With a small footprint and a unique magnetic-stackable design for use
with multiple UV16 units, UV Plus+ allows for additional displays to increase
productivity by expanding, rotating, or mirroring your virtual workspace through
an easy to understand and operate software interface. UV Plus+ is powered by
USB and uses Lossless Compression for transferring video signal which provides
a crystal clear viewing experience on your additional display. The GPU-less
design utilizes a virtual driver and high-performance DDR memory with full support
for Windows Vista Aero and high resolution capabilities. With all of these features
in one tiny package, the EVGA UV Plus+ is the perfect, easy solution for an
additional monitor in only minutes.

I am very satisfied with this unit, first because it works really well, and second because it is well-suited for what I do with it. I use it for email, programming, spreadsheets, etc., i.e., I'm not trying to play games on it. USB VGA is just not capable of smooth and rapid movement, especially at high resolution. My point is that I like the unit because I'm not asking it to do anything its not capable of.
I'm running Windows XP SP3 on a Sony VAIO with an integrated Mobile Intel 945GM Express chipset. I get 1280 x 1024 resolution at 32 bit color.
I've previously owned USB VGA adapters (both Tritton) which were limited, buggy, and didn't last long. The EVGA unit is vastly better! Setup was easy.
Notes: 1. This unit generates some heat. I use a small USB Thermaltake fan to keep it and my power adapter cool. 2. The only problem I've had is the device sometimes doesn't wake up from hibernation. |

I've run 2 of them on a Toshiba Portege m700 with vista ultimate for 8+ hours at a time with rare minor problems (once in 3 days or so) - the driver for one device shuts down and restarts freezing one monitor while the driver reloads. It works well for the work I do - though I'll bet it would be a problem if I were playing games or video |

I really wanted this to work, but after about 10 hours of fiddling around I just can't get it to. I have a Thinkpad Laptop running Vista, and the monitor keeps freezing the computer hard -- so much so the mouse will take minutes to respond to movement. Sometimes it will freeze after five minutes, sometimes after 30 minutes, and sometimes after a few hours. Incredibly frustrating. I have downloaded drivers from both eVGA and DisplayLink. Disabled and updated all kinds of software with no luck. There is just something strange going on with the drivers. Too bad -- it was nice when it worked. |

I have mixed feelings about this device. While it works most of the time, I often have to plug it into my X300 Lenovo laptop up to three times before it works. Sometimes it will work right away, sometimes I have to keep unplugging it and plugging it back in.
The hardware seems a little flimsy, my DVI cable for example can't be screwed in completely.
The manufacturer claims good performance, but that is simply not true. I have two external monitors connected to my X300, one using the VGA port and one using the EVGA, and the EVGA UV Plus is noticeably slower. I'm really just viewing browser windows or word documents, so nothing that should stress a device that claims to have good performance for non-gaming apps.
I'm glad I have the device, but don't expect wonders and be aware of the glitches.

I got one a while back and it didn't work. Contacted EVGA directly and had a new one shipped to me. I had to send the messed up one back. The new one works. Every now and then it blinks out for 2 seconds and then comes back. That's kinda annoying. I'm using windows XP with an Acer AL2216W. I'm only buying another one because my friend used mine to see if it would work on his computer and it did, so he wants exactly the same kind I have. If it were for me, I'd try some of the other brands out. |

What You Should Know

What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use. |
