Kensington Multi-Display Adapter with DisplayLink - USB 3.0 (K33974AM) in Black Review

This is a great little device! I've used it in two ways: to connect an LED monitor to my desktop as a second display via USB and also to connect to a laptop. For some reason the laptop couldn't "see" the LCD monitor connected to the VGA port, but it works fine with this adapter connected to the USB port. ALWAYS install the software first. I forgot on the laptop and had to delete what was autoloading when trying to connect and work. Once I removed that and installed as instructed, everything was

So I used an old version of these Kensington adapters and they work great. However, this one was just awful. I have two settings. My home setup is a desktop with two 27" IPS monitors using either VGA or HDMI. I need this adapter to connect to KVM so I can use dual screens. The adapter worked for my desktop with HDMI to DVI, but it kept turning on and off. A monitor with an older version of this adapter did not.

You cannot use iPhoto on this monitor. Applications like Stream don't work with it, nor can it set a color profile. This is a known issue, not sure if they have plans…

I used this with my Macbook Air running Mavericks so I could simultaneously connect a monitor via the monitor port and then display on the projector while keeping the laptop itself closed. I'm a teacher and I got tired of opening and closing the lid, swapping cables and keys while using the projector and disliked the potential cumulative physical wear and tear that could occur. This adapter is exactly what I wanted. It works well with the computer and the connected projector is treated like…

Works fine on my Macbook Pro. I had an old USB 2 version of this thing, it's obviously the USB 3 version. My MBP 13" can only drive two monitors, so my third monitor is connected via a Kensington adapter at 1920 x 1080. It's great for static and slow-changing windows. It's a little choppy for watching videos, but could be for the occasional one Use may be fine.The mouse around the 3rd monitor is quite choppy - I couldn't work on a presentation on the 3rd monitor for example.It's been a few…
