Tritton Technologies' SEE2: Dual Monitor Via USB Adapter
Posted by Damion Chaplin in "HARDWARE" @ 07:30 AM
"This is a very useful device that I’ve never seen before. Tritton Technologies’ SEE2 USB-to-SVGA adapter allows you to extend or mirror your desktop display to another monitor via one USB 2.0 port. It supports color depths up to 32-bit, and standard resolutions up to 1280×1024 (32-bit not available at this resolution)...the Tritton’s SEE2 USB-to-VGA adapter looks like it retails for about $75-80."
Well, here's an interesting little dohickey. Basically, add a second monitor with USB instead of a second video card. As a graphic artist, this is of little to no value to me, but I can see a heavy laptop user having one of these on their desk. For $75, the only reason to get one of these instead of a much more powerful video card is if your machine just won't handle it. There are, after all, some computers you just can't add a second video card to. What do you think? Can you see a situation in your life where one of these might come in handy?
