The StarTech USB 3.0 to DVI External Video Card Adapter is the perfect choice for people looking at multi-monitor support or a larger display for their existing laptop without native Display Out. The installation process is smooth and clear with less than 10 minutes to completely configure the device.
Pros:
- Works well with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and OSX (those that I have tested thus far.)
- Small footprint
- Secure DVI connector
- VGA to DVI adapter included
- Other DVI adapters available
- Affordable
- Attractive design
- USB 3.0 connection cord length can be a double edged sword. Short for clean connections at desk level. If you are connecting to a PC tower with ports at height, the adapter could hang.
Cons:
- Unfortunately, there is no Linux support at this time. If StarTech could develop a Linux driver, all would be right with this add-on card.
