Review on ELECABLE USB To VGA Adapter Cable 5FT Compatible With Mac OS Windows XP/Vista/10/8/7, USB 3.0 To VGA Male 1080P Monitor Display Video Adapter/Converter Cord. (5FT) by Jared Gopalan

Connect multiple monitors in extend mode

I just connected two monitors to my MacBook Pro 2017 (running Mojave) and I now have three screens, not mirrored, extended. The adapter needs a driver which can be downloaded from a shared Google drive (I know, a little nervous about that, but it all worked out perfectly). I needed to give special permission to the app because it was not recognized, but once I did that, it downloaded right up and started working as soon as plugged the cable into my USB 3 port. I played a little with the arrangement of displays, and after 5 minutes total time everything was set up as you can see in the picture. Excellent adapter, makes it possible to extend your Mac to three screens with the limited number of ports that a Mac has. My other monitor is plugged into my Mini DisplayPort with a MDP to VGA adapter. This is the only way to do it: a VGA splicer only allows for mirroring, not extending. For 16 bucks, this is a great solution. And the quality of pictures and video is surprisingly good, not grainy or fuzzy at all, really good. Works perfectly, I highly recommend it!UPDATE: NOT working with my other Mac running Catalina 10.15.7. Seller says that it is compatible, but it is not. Reinstalled the driver at least five times, multiple restarts, nothing. Taking one star off for that.
