Dynadock DVI - Docking Stations

I was NOT able to find any useful information about this device online so I hope you find it useful. The whole purpose of this device is to make it easier to remove accessories and monitors from your laptop as you come and go. This is NOT a regular dock that you connect a separate keyboard to. I bought this device to have 3 monitors at the same time to view three different screens at the same time. It does exactly that, and very well! I have DVI so I had the option to use that input when choosing my 32 inch Dell Hidef 1080i monitor. Since I have it now, I used a DVI-VGA adapter for this connection. To use 3 monitors, here is the breakdown: 1st is a laptop monitor, 2nd is a display connected to a laptop, and a third display is connected to a Toshiba unit. This will create a "virtual" graphics card for the third display. Note that normal browsing or browsing a website will work great on that third monitor, but if you REALLY need detailed on-screen graphics support, be careful about relying on a third monitor for that specific purpose. If you're interested in graphics, you'll see the difference Easy to use, just plug it in and you're done. It will place a third monitor between the first and second. So if your multi-monitor orientation is left to right, a virtual display will be placed between your laptop and the attached display on the back of your laptop. Here it's used to go (laptop - 2nd display), it doesn't go (laptop, virtual display, 2nd display) and this is a seamless integration. Note that if you use different sized displays, like I do (32-inch and 17-inch), you literally have to move your mouse down from the top of the large display to reach the top of the next display as the screen size isn't literally equate since you have different plot sizes to navigate (you'll see, don't worry). I hope this review helped. [.]
