 Marvelous! May 24, 2009
By J. Haggard
I'll keep this short. I have a laptop that I use at work with a dock, I was able to use one external monitor and the laptop monitor for a total of 2 screens. The problem was the resolutions were different sizes and the screens were not right next to each other. I bought this and connected it and immediately was able to have 2 external monitors next to each other with the same resolution. The graphics are great and no delay or lag in what's on the screen. I generally use the monitor this controls for my basic web browsing along with RDP (Remote Desktop) sessions. I have also watched hulu and youtube videos on the monitor this unit controls and it is smooth with no breakup or lag at all. I am very impressed. In fact now I actually have 3 monitors, my laptop, the dock one and now this one. Great item, makes my life as a Systems Administrator that much easier now that I have 2 monitors with the same resolution side by side. Highly recommend, and it's a piece of cake to get working.

 You get what you pay for I guess May 26, 2009
By Matthew Stratton

It's definitely a good value, price-wise, but there are severe limitations with this product.
First of all, it will disable Aero Glass in Vista when this device is connected. This is not necessarily a show-stopper, but it IS annoying. I suppose it makes sense, as the less powerful video "card" the device uses is probably not capable of handling Glass. Oh well.
Major limitation in my mind, however, is its inability to offer widescreen resolutions. The resolutions is offers do NOT include widescreen aspect ratios, which means on my 21" widescreen monitor, all of the display is stretched. This sucks.
Additionally, when my computer puts the display to sleep, when I wake it up, the device "loses" all of its settings and goes back to mirroring my desktop. This is also unacceptable.
Again, you get what you pay for. I decided to go for cheap, and cheap is what I got. Lesson learned.

 Best around for value Nov 28, 2008

If you need to add a second, third (or more) monitor without opening your computer, this is the easy way to make that happen. I have a dual monitor graphics card dell XP machine and use this for a third monitor. The adapter is easy to install with XP and works for my purposes. I actually switch the device between my desktop and laptop for easy multiple monitor productivity. Performance is MUCH better than the simple cable splitter I initially used (DUH!). I'm getting another to hook up to my big screen TV. I cannot speak for high end gaming, but for charts and spreadsheets, it's a great value for the price.

laptop to 50 inch hdtv Mar 20, 2010
By G. Chen
i have a 50 inch panasonic hdtv and i wanted to view the internet from my laptop. i tried the s video and it was horrible. i could not read the letters. after a search on the internet, i found the arkview. price reasonably and easily installed with usb to hdmi. after hooking up the arkview, it was like viewing a 50 inch monnitor. image sharp and clear. although i my arkview did not have the phonojacks with it, i can easily connect my laptop to the stereo. split screen is great too.
good job arkview. higly recommend for those of us with a big screen hdtv.
ps. i ordered a second one for a friend.

Used on SIX displays - Works on VISTA 64-bit too! Dec 11, 2008
By JumpingJacks
Purchased 6 of these usb/video adapters to add six Acer 19'' LCD monitors to my Dell 8300. All 6 adapters and monitors work perfectly along with my existing 22'' LCD monitor. Made a call to the Sabrent support desk and got a call right back and they were very helpful while I was experiencing issues connecting to through a D-Link hub. I highly recommend this USB video connector. For the 64-Bit Vista drivers I did have to download from the Sabrent website... www.sabrent.com; also www.majestron.com is helpful. The CD also includes a PDF manual as well.
