<imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/006/header.jpg"> </center><br> I found only a few USB to VGA adapters that has been reviewed really. So when I get one for my aunt. It's the time to test and show how well it is. <br><br> As you may know, the bandwidth of USB 2.0, theoretically, is 480 Mbps (480,000 kbps) and the for video bandwidth is depending on 3 things which are frames rate, height and width in pixel. For example:
<u>reference:</u> http://sorenson-usa.com/vbe/index.html <br><br> When you see the video bandwidth and USB 2.0 bandwidth, you might think USB is easily handle the video. However, theory is still theory; and it will never come close to the real world. You will see on the next. <br><br><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/main_data/square.gif"><b>How it works</b><br><center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/006/driver_found.gif"> </center> You will surprise how easy it is; I have only install the driver on the CD, restart once. Then I hook this adapter up to my tablet. Everything is all set! I test on Lenovo Thinkpad X61T running Vista Business. I don't think that the test computer configuration is needed here because it will not show any differences since the limit of speed of USB itself will be a real factor. <br> Once the device is successfully installed, you are good to go. Just connect to the monitor or projector; it will show up like a charm. I can't believe how easy it is. It's like it's easier than using real VGA port since you have to set or switch the display monitor as well. <br><center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/006/setting.gif"> </center> On the taskbar, the Tritton icon will show you plenty of options. You can just tap what you want. That's easy. I have not much to say because it's just working as it should. I noticed that on the box, it said that it support up to 1024*768 16bit color only. Nonetheless, there is a sticker said, "Now support up to 1600*1200 Video Playback Wide Screen Resolution, Windows Vista". You will see if it works as they claimed or not. <br><br><center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/006/size1.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/006/size2.jpg"> </center><center><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/006/size3.jpg"> <imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/com/test/006/size4.jpg"> </center><br><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/main_data/square.gif"><b>Testing</b><br> From the quote on the sticker, I surely have to download a new driver to make this show all potential is has.

In this case, video will show a lot more than I can say. First test is everyday use, so I will use the USB-VGA (Extened) 1440*900, 32bit mode in this test. What I will do is dragging firefox window to another the extended screen, maximize it, then change to another website. Let's see how good it is via YouTube. <br>

It just cannot handle high motion thing, otherwise, it's pretty good. For the next test I will use the USB-VGA (Mirror) which will display only 1024*768, 32-bit. This is more intense by opening the video clip to see if it can bear this. <br>

IMO, this is a good alternative so far. However, as its advertise, it supports 1600*1200 video playback. See how it goes, with USB-VGA (Primary) 1440*900, 32-bit mode, video playback. <br>

I have tried to reduce to 1440*900, 16-bit or lower resolution; but it just doesn't work. From what I can see, it's only supported as the spec on the box, 1024*768 with video playback. You can use with other jobs, except video playback, though. <br><br><imgsrc="http://one.mycapsules.com/main_data/square.gif"><b>Overall</b> - Tritton TRI-UV100 - SEE2 USB 2.0 To VGA/SVGA Adapter <br><br> This surprise me a lot how USB can be this versatile but I won't say this adapter's great, but it's very good alternative for whom you don't have VGA-output or VGA-output is malfunction. This is quite suitable for presentation rather than any other jobs because it could handle only slow motion picture. In addition, this adapter could use as a third monitor as well; it might come in handy in some ways. In short, if you are looking for easy to use external monitor adapter, don't look over this product :-P
