Arrow [MyDigitalLife]ViBook USB to DVI Adapter for Multiple Screens for Mac and Windows PC

Previously we mentioned about USB to DVI Adapter for Multiple High Resolution Display from Sewell, now there is a similar product being released by Villagetronic targeted for PC users that doesn’t like to use conventional display output. Named as ViBook, it is a tiny yet powerful USB graphics solution that can connect any LCD monitor to your USB ports conveniently.


Amazingly, it can support up to maximum of 1680 X 1050 wide screen resolution without any technical limitation. As similar to Sewell product, there is a way to connect to as many as 6 different displays, with condition that you get six ViBook with each DVI port connect to one display (maximum of 22-inch display). Another major advantage is this new product is designed to be small enough to be mounted behind any kind of LCD monitor’s panel so that you can have a neat working environment in space constraint office space.

The new solution is compatible with both Mac and Windows PC systems, and priced at only $130, it is quite an affordable solution especially for those users that need multiple panoramic views for more effective work.

Isn't the eVGA USB --> DVI device the same thing? And the eVGA is only $70 (at least it was at fry's last time I checked, and that's BEFORE a $20 mail-in rebate).

Pretty cool, although I don't think it supports Apple though, at least not according to Newegg.

I did a little research a few days ago when I saw it in a Fry's ad with the mail-in rebate. According to what I read, the device isn't officially supported by eVGA, but the maker of the chip inside the eVGA device has a driver to get it to work with OSX.

The UV16 is the high end model supporting a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 (1680 x 1050 widescreen) while the low model UV12 tops at 1280 x 1024 (1440 x 900 widescreen). Like all other DisplayLink products, the UV12 & UV16 support Vista's Aero 3D and Apple Leopard.

I've been using the EVGA UV16 Plus USB-to-DVI adapter for about a week now, to successfully drive a second monitor on my Mac Mini. I use the Displaylink Mac beta driver (latest update Sept. 5 2008)
They have a tough time supporting things like flash video on 16x10 and 12x10 resolutions, I hear.
