Easy USB connection of multiple displays for Windows and Mac OS X users
DisplayLink today announced that its USB display technology is providing core functionality for the Kensington Dual Monitor Adapter, now shipping for Windows XP/Vista and Mac OS X platforms. The new adapter lets desktop and notebook users quickly expand their visual workspace by adding an additional monitor via a simple USB connection.
“With DisplayLink’s unique hardware and software, a second display is just a single USB connection away,” said Frederic Frappereau, global product marketing manager at Kensington. “For GBP 79.99, both Mac and PC users can enjoy easier multitasking, increased productivity, and a more pleasing visual environment without having to install complex video cards.”
“A USB graphics adapter is the most affordable way to experience the plug and display simplicity of DisplayLink technology,” said Dennis Crespo, DisplayLink’s executive vice president of marketing and business development. “Once people try the instant usability benefits of using multiple displays, they get hooked.”
