WAVLINK USB3.0 to HDMI/DVI/VGA Universal Graphic Adapter - Multi

In this review of the WAVLINK USB3.0 to HDMI/DVI/VGA Universal Graphic Adapter the bottom line is straightforward: it is a practical, portable way to add extra displays to a Windows or supported Mac system. The adapter's single biggest advantage is broad compatibility combined with the DisplayLink DL-3900 chipset that enables resolutions up to 2048 x 1152, making it well suited for home office setups, media playback and extending desktop space without opening the PC. Setup is generally quick on modern systems, and the included audio ports add everyday convenience.

Key Features

• Multiple monitor support: Lets users add additional displays one adapter per monitor and can be combined on PCs to drive up to six external monitors for expanded desktop real estate.
• DisplayLink DL-3900 chipset: Provides support for resolutions up to 2048 x 1152 for clear 1080p-plus output on a wide range of external displays.
• USB 3.0 speed: USB 3.0 data transfer up to 5 Gbps and backward compatible with USB 2.0 to handle HD video playback and general desktop tasks.
• Audio and microphone ports: External 2.1CH microphone input and earphone output let you route sound through the adapter for conferencing or media without extra cabling.
• Compact and bus powered: Small, pocketable design that draws power from the USB port so no external power adapter is required for most setups.
• Broad system support: Works with modern Windows laptops, desktops and many legacy Windows systems, and with Mac OS versions listed in the product compatibility notes.

Who It's For

The adapter is best for users who need to expand their workspace: remote workers, students, developers and anyone who wants a second or third monitor for productivity or light multimedia. It is convenient for laptop users who travel and want a small, stowable adapter to connect hotel or office displays without carrying bulky docking stations.

Those who should look elsewhere include users on unsupported platforms such as Linux, Unix, Windows XP 64-bit or Surface RT, and professionals who need guaranteed zero-latency video for high-end gaming or color-critical video editing where a native GPU output is preferred.
