Works as hoped, but has a few quirks

Works as expected, but with a quirk or two to be aware of. (FYI, I don't use this for gaming so can't report on it.) Follow the instructions to install the driver and connect the device. If this doesn't work right away, you may need to restart your computer and make sure you don't connect the display port line to the device before the blue light comes on. Functions: 1. When you restart your computer, you need to disconnect the indicator line and then reconnect it to the device when the blue light is on. 2. It does not work with DisplayPort cables that convert to VDI, but works with straight DP-to-DP cables/monitors. I'm not sure if it will work with DP-HDMI or any other format, so just use DP.3. The secondary monitor doesn't match my normal display settings when the other monitors go into "night mode". Other than that, this thing is great and saved me a few hundred on buying an additional graphics card of a similar model. Minus 1 star for quirks - I believe if the driver had been coded better it would have automatically restarted the monitor when the computer restarted. ?
