Featuring the DisplayLink DL-165 graphics chipset, the Plugable UGA-165 enables multiple monitors with virtually any Windows laptop, desktop, or tablet, Mac, or ChromeBook (one adapter required per monitor, up to six on Windows PCs and four on macOS). Supports any monitor or projector with DVI-D, VGA, or HDMI inputs. Get the full benefits of USB, including plug and play connectivity, thin and flexible cabling, and ability to connect via USB 2.0 hubs and repeaters.


Performance

USB graphics adapters work by rendering 2D/3D with your computer's CPU and GPU, and then compressing and transmitting the pixels that change over USB. Best suited for web and productivity software, not 3D gaming or HD video playback.
