Solid Product
I have used these for many businesses to get them on dual monitors. It is easy to install and works well with minimal effort. I have used this on old and new computers, windows XP, 7, and 8.

It works!
My computer tech guy said it couldn't be done, said you could not connect a second monitor to my USB 2.0 port, after trying one purchased online from China. Well, this StarTech adapter proved him wrong! Setup was simple, and my second monitor works great! It was very easy to shop for it on the StarTech website...excellent descriptions of your items and their capabilities.

Works Great!
This works better than anything I've tried to extend screens on multiple monitors from a laptop. Easy install, no monitor freezing, great with excel sheets! So glad a spent a little more $, so worth it!!!

Life made easy
Since I connected a second monitor, thanks to Startech USB2VGAE2, I tripled my poductivity. I am a professor, and it was so easy reviewing student papers on one screen and posting my comments and grades on another screen. Now, I do not have to open and close windows, like before.

It doesn't work with Windows 7
I only tested this with Windows 7 SP1. My laptop is an HP HDX. After I installed the driver, the Gadgets utility, Windows Live Mail 2011 and IE 9 would not run. Office 2010 ran fine. The screen resolution would only give 1650x850. When I (normally) connect my external monitor directly to my computer's VGA port, I can get 1920x1200 on my 27" external monitor.

Fair for the price
Easy installation but because it is hooked up to the USB ports you cannot utilize your monitor's full resolution. So I have two 27" monitors connected to the computer that are at high resolution and the other two 27" monitors hooked up thru the USB ports using these adapters are at their highest resolution available which is about 1/4" inch difference in my charts alignment. This is the only drawback, you cannot get the highest resolution available on your monitor using this adapter.

Works as expected
Needed a cable so I could use my LCD with my new HP EliteBook (no VGA). Works as expected and was easy to connect.

Issue with XP
I need a second screen for a factory application where the PC is XP so using USB2VGAE2. Tried both drivers (V20 and 21). The drivers install fine but the USB device does not find the drivers once connected. It remains as an unknown device.
I see the Trigger family drivers (mirror / extend) in Device Manager under Display, and when I go to display settings it lets me change settings for the second screen, but fails to accept the changes. These devices remain in Device Manager even when the USB adapter is removed.
I can see

Product works great for my needs.
The business I work for does not use a typical PC setup, so this product is excellent for my dual monitor configuration.

It *could* work...
The item by itself works good enough, provided you aren't using any other USB Graphics drivers. As it happens we use Lenovo laptops that ship with two different USB Graphics drivers preinstalled, and use a Startech USB docking station which also has a USB Graphics driver installed. These all play nice together until the driver for this USB-VGA adapter is installed. It just kind of takes over and makes it so you can't even uninstall the others, let alone use them. I tried uninstalling everything, installing this one first, then the others but no go. I bought these for our team so they would have something in the bag for road days, but I can have them jumping through hoops to use it every time.

Good image quality
Hi! I'm currently working with a laptop running Windows 7. I use the laptop's screen and an aditional external monitor hooked up via VGA cable and it works perfectly. I now added the USB to VGA adapter and the image I got on the third screen is very detailed, very good. Althought all I got was the option to duplicate one of my two pre-existing screens onto this third monitor. How do I get the USB to VGA adpater to expand my workspace onto the third monitor? Thanks
