What I would love to see, not sure if it would be possible. A gamer / 3D card version, would be great to upgrade laptop graphics this way.]]>Apr 21st 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/
I haven't used a single monitor setup for a long time - I recommend dual monitors if you do a lot of work on the computer. However, don't go cheap. Get something that will do the job or else you'll be more disappointed than you were before. ]]>Apr 21st 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/DVI does 1600 x 1200

Better than this though is the Tritton one:

For that situation & for idiots this thing may be great.

The price tag is too high for anyone else!]]>Apr 21st 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5547670)

I think you'll find that this is the wizardry powering these devices which debuted at CES this year, and comes built into a select few newer monitors.

DVI based Displaylink(ed) monitors maxes out at around 1600x1200.]]>Apr 21st 2008 12:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 1:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/Apr 21st 2008 3:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/21/iogear-intros-usb-2-0-external-dvi-video-card/

These work fine for anything but gaming. They'll run fullscreen video alright, and I did get World of Warcraft playing on one -- nothing pretty, but it ran. The OSX drivers are lacking support for a couple of things, but they're also good enough for whatever most office users will be doing.

And a quick plug, we sell both kinds, at very reasonable prices here:
