USB 3.0 to VGA adapter for multi-monitor setups

This LUOM adapter connects a USB 3.0 port on a laptop or desktop to a VGA display such as a monitor, projector or TV. It adds a second screen without opening the case or installing an internal graphics card. Windows 10, 8.1, 8 and 7 are supported and no driver disc is required. The compact, bus-powered design fits easily in a laptop bag for mobile use.

Bandwidth limits at USB 3.0 and USB 2.0

Over a USB 3.0 connection the adapter delivers up to 1920x1080 at 60 Hz. When plugged into a USB 2.0 port the maximum falls to 800x600 at 60 Hz because the older bus cannot sustain the higher data rate. Both modes operate at 60 Hz refresh. The adapter is backward compatible, so it will function on either generation of port at the respective resolution ceiling.

Replaces a basic single-display configuration

It upgrades a system that only has one video output by adding a VGA screen for extended or mirrored desktop modes. The jump is worth it when you need simultaneous visibility of multiple applications — such as coding on one screen while referencing documentation on the other — and your device lacks a spare native VGA, HDMI or DisplayPort connector. It does not serve users who require resolutions above 1080p or refresh rates beyond 60 Hz.
