  1. When you have a computer that can use a few monitors but you want another one, are these good? Do you have experience with them? This would be for showing documents and charts and stuff, not gaming, which means it doesn't need a ton of energy.

    I have very good experience with the Plugable brand. They have USB 3.0 to hdmi/dvi /dp the adapters.

    Do you want another computer or another monitor?:banghead:
     
  4. I am using two from Cable Matters.

    Very nice....and you must install their drivers before they will work.
    I like these because they work with both DVI and HDMI.

    Which chipset does this one have? Cause one cannot run adapters of different chipsets on the same computer. The drivers collide. And this adapter does not seem to support 4k.not what OP asked but just saying.

     
  6. What are you talking about....re: "4k" ???
    I saw no mention of that.

    That's what I just said. The Cable Matters adapter does not support 4k resolutions. Plugable does. And while OP did not mention he needed 4k it still was worth a comment as it may matter. Also not sure which chipset Cable Matters uses. There is the one by Plugable and the other is by a Taiwanese manufacturer. You can't run those two chipset in different adapters at the same time on the same machine. They don't work together. Just a word of caution and not directed at your post.
