This product does exactly what I wanted. I am writing a review so that others who are trying to add an external monitor capability to their netbook (specifically the Dell Inspiron DUO) can rest assured that this solution works. First try, right out of the box.My problem was that while my little flip-screen DUO does everything I want in a computer for travel, I sometimes need to bring my BIG laptop along if I want to connect to a projector. This is a big deal weight-wise and a hassle as well. I researched solutions and it appeared that a USB2-to-VGA external device would work, but I couldn't find any reviews making it clear that it would work for certain.I contacted StarTech.com's technical support and they got back to me very quickly. They advised buying the unit somewhere with a good return policy because they had seen some "issues" with touch screen devices. I was looking at a competing device and contacted their tech support with the same question and got a "we're sure it will work." I went with StarTech because I liked their response time AND their honesty. Turns out, it works just fine.One tip: Don't install from the enclosed CD at all. Just download the latest driver installation from the StarTech website. The only thing that happens if you install from the CD is that you have to then uninstall it to get the updated drivers installed. My mistake, but it would've been more clever to just tell me to get the drivers online and not bother with the CD. Anyway, a few minutes wasted time, but otherwise no big deal.After getting the drivers installed, I connected everything as directed in the brief manual. And it works! No fuss, no muss. Upon recognizing the device, it went immediately into dual monitor mode and mirrored everything from my screen to the projector. I'm good to go.By the way, it works just fine in touch screen mode as well. I didn't START the computer in tablet mode, but when I switched from keyboard to tablet mode, it had no problem paging through a PowerPoint slide presentation and showing that on the projector.UPDATE: Used it on a trip. I had to restart my laptop a couple of times as it "lost" the connection to the projector (or the projector lost it). But, after that, it ran like a charm for 2.5 hours without a glitch. EXCELLENT product.

December 26, 2011 update -- My wife got me one for Christmas. After my previous experience below, it was exactly what I wanted. I just tried it (had already loaded the drivers as noted below). It is working great! Hmm-- I have another monitor that I could probably use with this computer....December 11 2011 update -- as indicated below, the purchase was for the church computer. It has been installed there and was used successfully in the Worship Service today. It continues to be easy to install and reliable.ORIGINAL -- I installed this today. And it worked great immediately following installation.(1) I made sure that the device was not attached to the computer as noted in the guide.(2) I went to Startech.com and clicked on download and drivers, then entered the device name and dowloaded the driver.(3) Then I ran the driver.(4) As noted in the guide, it eventually indicated that I needed to restart so I let the computer restart.(5) I had the monitor and and cable ready but as noted, waited until after the computer restarted -- and I gave it a few minutes so that all applications were up and running.(6) Then I plugged in the usb cable to the computer(7) The screen came on immediately. I did go into the system setup as suggested to review and eventually changed another monitorSo now I have(a) laptop screen(b) monitor 2 which is connected to the VGA port on the laptop(c) monitor 3 which is connected through the USB2VGAE3Each is on and each has different item displaying.I wanted to check this out on my computer before we install it on a laptop at church which is used for morning worship presentations (well it was until we added a new screen which it could not handle).So - it is going to be used there.And probably in a month I will be getting one for myself. And then probably one for my wife.All in all, if it the new one works as well for me as this one has, I would give it more stars than 5.It is nice to have a product that works well right from the beginning. Thanks Startech.com and Thanks amazon.com.

I use this with a Sony Vaio 64 bit W7 Home laptop. I already had a 27" external monitor and wanted to add a 23" monitor. The existing external was my primary monitor, with VGA cable plugged into the VGA external slot. The laptop served as a secondary one off on the side. I had W7 extend the display (nothing duplicated; cursor moves from one to the other). The adapter is now connected to a USB2 hub with several other USB peripheralsWhen this was installed, I didn't have to do any configuration except adjust the brightness and contrast on the 23". W7 detected and added the new monitor, extended the display to it, and left my original external as primary.This isn't a huge deal -- but it's nice -- that a "USB Display (Trigger) Utility" is in the system tray (lower right, primary display) allows you to *quickly* make the adapter's monitor the primary, change ####x#### resolution, and other functions without going to Windows' Screen Resolution utility.I don't do gaming or heavy graphics and animation -- just web, mail, spreadsheets, word processing, stock charts. I'm not seeing any delays that some people report.One note: use the package installation CD *before* installing the latest drivers from startech.com.Because reviews and user documentation said to get the latest drivers from startech.com, I downloaded and installed the latest drivers -- and restarted the machine -- first, before using the installation CD.When I started the install from the CD, the first thing it did was show an uninstall step. So I had to let the installation finish, restart the machine, then reinstall the latest drivers, then restart again. I could have avoided that first restart and saved some time.

Se rompió el display de una AllInOne y era usb 2.0, me sirvió perfecto aunque fue complicdo instalar los drivers debido a que no se veÃa bien el monitor.

Dudando del resultado adquirà el adaptador, sin embargo reconozco que fue por demás sencillo la instalación, pues seguà las instrucciones, actualicé el driver para windows 10 y al conectar el adaptador al otro monitor (que en realidad es una tv, funcionó sin contratiempos.En la configuración de windows, pantalla, se le indica hacia que lado virtual quedará el monitor adicional, tiene como opciones: arriba, abajo, a la izquierda o a la derecha.100 % recomendable,
