Having multiple monitors on a PC is nothing new. Many newer graphics cards allow from two separate displays up to as many as six or more displays per card. These cards can be very costly and take a bit of computer know-how to get properly set up. Adding more graphics cards to a system can further increase the display capacity, but increases the cost and complexity of the system. Additionally, these types of graphics cards are a luxury for desktops, and more specifically, desktops with expansion card slots to spare. Laptop and Small Form Factor PC users do not have the ability to install 4 separate graphic cards into their system, so many find themselves lucky if they can display their desktop on two separate displays.

This is where the UV Plus+ line from EVGA fits in. The idea is: if you have a spare USB port, you have the ability to hook up an additional display to your system. No longer do you have to sacrifice computer desktop real estate when you choose to purchase a laptop, a netbook, or a SFF PC. No longer should you be required to purchase an additional video card, or come up with some cumbersome adapter to add a spare display to your system. EVGA has utilized the technology of DisplayLink for this product to allow it to use both CPU and GPU power to drive the display.

On paper, this seems like a wonderful device. Now, let's take a look and see if a USB display adapter can properly compliment a system and replace the need to add additional graphic cards to your machine. Will this adapter live up to the well known and well respected EVGA name that is practically synonymous with high-end display technology? Read on and find out.
