Setup of the adapter is simple. All you have to do is install a small software package – included with the adapter – and you’re ready to go. Once you’re hooked up, the software utility allows you to completely control the monitor’s color, resolution, display settings, and more.

If you’re scheduled to make a presentation with a non-DVI notebook the Lenovo USB-to-DVI Monitor Adapter will have you covered if you encounter a DVI-only projector.

Entertainment/Media

With USB-to-DVI adapters of the past, attaching primary and secondary displays caused significant problems for users wanting to enjoy video since the enclosed video cards were poorly designed. Lenovo, however, has hit a home run with its adapter, which provides seamless playback of video at even the highest resolution.

Gaming

If you’re looking to game with the Lenovo USB-to-DVI Monitor Adapter then you may run into slight problems. Playing complex, graphics-intensive games on through the adapter tend to get slow during fast-action sequences when used at the high resolutions. However, this issue can be sidetracked by simply reducing the resolution of the display to around 1024 x 768.

The Lenovo USB to DVI 1080p Adapter is a superb way to add multiple screens to any notebook or desktop. The only real downside is the the more screens you add, the bigger CPU hit your going to take, so to really get the maximum benefit from the Lenovo USB to DVI Adapter and run 6 screens, you’ll need a fairly hefty processor.

Having said that however the Lenovo USB to DVI 1080p Adapter is a superb way to give yourself that extra screen real estate you’ve always wanted.
