Easy to use, allows you to output your laptop to an external screen via a USB into a VGA connector, well priced.
I have purchased a number of these, you simply upload the provided software from Startech who offer regular (free) updates, then you plug the box into a USB port on your laptop and a VGA cable to the external screen, checking your external screen has a VGA in (most have). If needed you change your graphic settings on your PC, right click on the home screen, and out put to mre than one screen and presto you have a multiple screens. We run 2x external screens on all our office PC's and this gizmo works very well at a really good price, love it.

StarTech.com USB to VGA Adapter -
Excellent adapter, works without any programs installation. plug and play (the DVD is there, but i did not need it) all just works. Bought 2 for 2 monitors, all working, no problem. The monitor position can be configured in settings, but if it is only two monitors the computer is working it out by itself.I am happy with this somewhat pricey, but reliable adaptor!

USB2VGA2 -3 performance
Function of these is dependent on your system and resources in my experience. I now run an AMD 8 core processor in windows 8.1 - excellent performance with the USB2VGAE2 which I have had for a few years now. I am running 1 USB2VGAE2 but intend to add my other one for a 4 monitor system. It runs on my xp netbook OK too for a 3rd screen which is quite old actually. Previous to this I ran XP and windows 7 dual boot on a pentium 4 single core processor 3.2GHz.. it didnt work for windows 7 and crashed the system, but worked for xp with limited usage.I think dependent on your model they draw more from your processor, the graphics or cpu I can't remember which. For the cheaper models like the USB2VGAE2 with a good spec computer and graphics card it works well for Video and all screen functions. My Graphics is an NVidea Geforce GT650 with passive cooling, processor 8 core AMD 3.3 GHZ.It's a good choice for a multi monitor system if you want to work on a budget.. function will depend on the ability of your system. The more expensive ones such as the USB2VGAE3 and above use more of their own memory, but as stated I have no issues with my system any more and the USB2VGAE2 - but i have found it to be system dependant.

simple.
Downloaded drivers, plugged it in and away we go. Simple. Didn't have to change any screen settings etc. Easy way to get a second screen up and running without having to take the back off your PC. Signal has dropped out a couple of times, but turned it off and back on again and all OK.

Does what it sais on the tin!!!
Does what it sais on the blurb, gave me an extra screen so that I can run 3 screens from laptop and PC. Easy to install - forget about the CD just go to the site and download the latest drivers - for W10 in my case. An excellent piece of kit, recommended.

Good, but unstable under heavy USB traffic
For the price, this is an cheap & easy way of getting a third monitor setup.However, there a couple of gotchas:1. The display rendering is done in software which means you need a recent PC (i.e. dual or quad core)2. At least on my PC, heavy USB traffic (eg. transferring a 50GB file) causes the display to eventually freeze or crash with a BSOD.Worth the money, but don't rely on it too much (ie. dont configure it as your "primary" desktop where the taskbar goes).
