ABLEWE USB 3.0/2.0 to VGA Adapter - Multi-Display Converter for 1080p Resolution - Compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1/10, Mac OS and Linux

StrumLumStrumLum: I bought this USB adapter as an inexpensive solution to duplicate the display on my old Windows 7 test laptops that I use for a networking lab onto my one monitor so that I can control the laptops with my KVM switch. The first obstacle was that there were drivers that get installed on the laptop first - as opposed to being "Plug-n-play". The instructions say that when first plugging the USB VGA adapter in, it should appear in file explorer as a drive and that you run the correct driver application depending if you have Win XP or Win7/Win10. After double-clicking the Win 7 executable, it just sat there. I had to use the enclosed mini-CD on another machine, copy the executable off the CD on to a thumb drive and plug the thumb drive into my test laptop. The DVD drives don't work on these old test laptops. After the driver executable finally started to work, I was prompted to allow an unsigned driver to install. This was my second sign that this driver may or may not work. After the reboot, Windows did detect and successfully installed the new drivers. Good sign - maybe this will work. The instructions then stated there should be an icon in the system tray...

Mike Vandenberg: I had an old USB 2.0 hub and bought two of these to add 2 more monitors to my laptop. The displays were a bit blurry but looked ok when I adjusted the display sharpness controls. The monitor identities get reversed from time to time when I reconnect the USB hub. I think that is a Windows (10) issue though. I really like the workflow improvement now that I have 4 monitors!

That guy: I bought a VGA USB adapter from Amazon to be use to connect a 3rd monitor to
my desktop computer. I followed your instruction in the User Guide, after
installation, it worked, no problem.

I enjoyed the monitor for 3 days, no problem. Then the computer could not
detect the third monitor. Then I tried unplug the USB and reconnected
again. It worked, then if I turned off the computer, when I restarted the
computer, the third monitor could not be detected again.

So I tried to uninstall the adapter, a message came up "Uninstall has
detected that XXX USB Display is currently running. Please close all
instance of it now, then click OK to continue or Cancel to exit."

I don't know how to close the XXX USB Display since it was not working as
the third monitor could not be detected. I restarted the computer again and
tried to uninstall, same message came up.

How can I make the adapter work? I followed all the instruction in the User
Guide.

Help! I am very disappointed, if I don't hear from you I will need to
return to Amazon and will leave my review with the product on the Amazon
website.

S Remedios: Doesn't work, very very poor picture quality.
Customer service was pretty good though and they did refund my money.
Installed on 6 month old Dell PC with Windows 10.

A Buyer: Along with the product, there was a letter from Joe at support@ablewe.com letting me know that he will work with me in case there are any problems. I appreciated that and wrote Joe the following email--this should describe my experience with/feelings about the product.

"Hi Joe,

I recently purchased your USB to VGA adapter for adding an extra monitor to my laptop. At the moment everything is working fine.

I had some anxious moments:

1. My laptop has a Windows 10 OS. By mistake, I installed the NT version--of course, nothing worked. When I reinstalled the correct version the product worked. I will give you a good review.

2. The sound stopped working when I installed the adapter. I had to make a certain device the default device. This has happened at other times also and thus may not have anything to do with the adapter.

3. The font size in your users guide is very small. I had trouble reading it. This is the only major problem I have/had. I am tempted top remove one star for it but won't :-) :-)

4. The monitor connected to the adapter has to be powered on before powering on the laptop. Otherwise, the monitor is not...

RedXepher82: I would say the first thing out of the box is this can be used with USB 3.0 and 2.0 but I would recommend using it with 3.0. I have tried it on 2.0 and it has a lag time in between movement and what is shown in the screen. I guess there is not enough speed for a usb 2.0 to handle. The cable is short and really only meant for laptops in my opinion since many laptops nowadays only have USB 3.0 or mini displayport or type c. That being said, this works great for if you are trying to hook this up to say an older monitor or even a new TV. It also allowed me to have an extra display for my gaming laptop that only has 1 HDMI port that I can use to plug this laptop into. The cable itself is pretty sturdy so you do not have to worry too much about the neck getting frayed. You can easily bend and store if needed. The VGA female does not have the screws on the side so you are unable to attach the VGA securing screws on the left and right side but it does not effect performance. I would say it works great up to 1080P and i do not see any heating issues from what I can tell. Be aware this still relays on the ability of the onboard graphics so if you have an older PC that does...
