Question: My onboard graphics card stopped working. I cannot view the display. Can this be connected to a monitor without installing a driver?
Document: For extended display and basic/practical functions, this is a great addition on top of an integrated or slot-in graphic card. Extended display on 19" and above monitors is what I needed/wanted versus staring at a 13" laptop screen.It's a USB connection so don't expect to stream or game without choppiness on the monitor it is connected to.
After doing a bit of research within the reviews, I didn't even bother with the driver CD-ROM that was enclosed in the package. A simple search of "Displaylink usb download driver" took me to a direct download, with an updated driver from September 29, 2010. This update apparently addresses the automatic graphics card switching, as well as support and bug fixes for Snow Leopard. After downloading and installing the driver, I restarted my machine and was up and running within 5 minutes.
But, it turns out - pending any new DisplayLink updates - running Parallels Desktop in a way that any of a Windows Virtual Machine's content is on the connected monitor results in a system hang, crash or other instability. Keeping Parallels completely on monitors driven by the internal graphics card has worked fine on the 2009 MacBook Pro described in the review.
I recently had the unpleasant experience of having my dual monitor, high-end video card go out on me. Not having the income to purchase a two-hundred- dollar video card replacement, as well as my thinking about getting a imac in the near future, I opted instead for the Diamond BVU195 HD Display Adapter. The adapter provided exactly what I needed. A way to have dual monitor support without the high-end video card price tag.
I'm using this to power my third monitor on my MacBook Pro and it works perfectly. I haven't had any issues to speak of. Only thing worth mentioning is you can't play HD movies in full view without a little lag...but that's to be expected with this type of device. Overall I'm very pleased with it's performance.
My wife purchased one of these for me for Christmas. I was a little wary about USB video cards, but I am very happy with the performance of the product. I have it hooked up to my two year old HP laptop. It runs the display for a 24" 1080p monitor without issue. I also use my laptop's VGA port to run another monitor, so it's definitely not taxing my processor too much.I was able to just plug it in. No driver installation, no real configuring.
I bought this adapter because my notebook's video output stopped to work. For my surprise, Diamond adapter is easier to use then Windows desktop properties. It recognizes with no problems if the external monitor is connected and you don't have to adjust the resolution each time you connect the monitor. I really recommend this product.
If the system was shut down with the dock assigned to the main laptop's display, the next time the machine is restarted without the external display there is still some strange behavior. This behavior involves a brief flickering in the screen each time the system switches graphics mode, and the inability to change your wallpaper (which is really strange!).
Looking for an easy to use portable solution to add an additonal viewing source, users may find that the USB powered Diamond BVU195 HD USB Adapter fills the bill. Simplicity at its best, this model basically functions as a portable video card. It operates with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Apple OS X.Installation was a breeze on my Windows based laptop. I popped in the Driver CD and then connected the enclosed mini USB cable to my laptop's USB port.
Perfect solution for a 3rd monitor. My MacBook Pro is connected to Panasonic 32" LCD TV through MiniDisplay port. I had no idea what to do with cheapie old VGA monitor. After doing some research I stumbled on Diamond BVU195 HD USB Display Adapter and thought I'd give it a try. It pretty much worked out of the box. I guess one critical thing is to install Mac OS X driver BEFORE making physical connection.
Answer: I think so. I don't recall installing any drivers, but don't hold me to that.
