AN2420 USB 2.0 Display Adapter
This USB Display Adapter enables you to connect one more monitor, LCD or
projector to a computer with a USB 2.0 port. For desktop users
adding an extra monitor via USB connection is easier than ever
without having to open the computer chassis to install an internal
video card. Once the installation is done, the USB-attached monitor
soon wakes up. No function key hassle to swap a second monitor.
With this handy adapter, you can enjoy many benefits brought by an
add-on monitor. The most obvious one is that you get more desktop
area to have more applications visible at one time. For example, you
may work on one monitor while your family watch video on the other.
No more stacking windows within the confines of a single display. Or
you may span an application, e.g. spreadsheets, across two displays.
What's more, the adapter is hot pluggable. If you are not using the
extra monitor, just unplug the adapter at any time; no reboot needed.
