Customers like the performance, ease of setup, quality and lag of the electronic adapter. For example, they mention it works great, it's easy to download and install the driver, it comes with several adapters for composite, VGA, and HDMI, and it doesn't slow down their computer. That said, some say it'd be a great investment.

This is my first post that got 3 stars at the first, and this sent to manufacturer as well...
Here is what I just sent to the manufacturer: Hello. I bought this product recently, as well as 4 other different pieces of gear well over a year ago, for hooking up our studio office. Every single other piece of gear (USB to VGA) and USB 3.0 7 way splitters all work Awesome! I bought this device for situations where older gear may come into use and put it on the shelf till that time. Yesterday I pulled it out to use just to hook up another screen as I knew it could do that, and well.. it has continual intermittent shut off and turn on issues. When it's off, if I wiggle it it will turn back on again and blue light goes back on. But it is wreaking havoc with my graphics card blinking everything off and on cycling like that.
As so far I have LOVED PLUGGABLE STUFF, and would prefer to continue using ALL Pluggable product and promoting it, as I understand sometimes electronics just don't work out of the box.
Is there anyway I could get a replacement?
Three stars just for this product, as the Pluggable makes GREAT products, I LOVE the EASE in which they install and how easy they configure. Also the video is not noticeable as being non-native to the PC! Amazing in this regard.
Will change ratting after I hear back from my FIRST EVER claim report to Pluggable, but I have heard good things :)
Thank you.
I got a reply within the hour! WOW! They were so amazing to help and with their quick responses, I have never had such good customer service from almost any company. I hope they keep this Golden standard for sure.
I was notified the product I bought was still within the 1st year under warranty, but that even if it was out that they would like to see what they could do to help. As it was they said they would send me a replacement right away and asked for my current address which had changed from USA to Canada. Here are the reply's back and forth for you to see the service Ii received!
From Pluggable...
Hi Bear Adams,
Thank you for the details!
Generally we're only able to ship a replacement to the original destination country, but I'll be glad to make an exception on this one. We'll have a replacement unit shipped to you directly from Amazon Canada. (This will prevent us from pre-testing the unit, but the odds of receiving back to back adapters with out of box problems are incredibly finite.)
Thanks,
Gary

Wow! Thank you Gary! Again you guys surprised me with again quick response and going the extra mile in helping the little guy.
Expect a Good report of how Amazing your quality of service has been, and ALL my continued referrals for sure!
Thanks again.
Bear Adams.
PS- any timeline on the shipment by chance?
Thanks for the kind words, Bear Adams! Always great to hear our unique "do the right thing" approach is appreciated.
Regarding timeline, the fullfillment order will be submitted to Amazon today with 2 day shipping. Generally in this scenario, Amazon's automated shipment notification/tracking systems will send you status updates periodically.
Once you receive the replacement and have a chance to test it out, please let us know how things are working.
Thanks!

Well, it has been quite a few weeks since I have received the product and been using it. Everything is working perfectly, as it should, and as ALWAYS ALL of the Pluggable products I have had INSTALL and Work GREAT!!
So the moral of the story is, no company produces 100% zero failure rate product, BUT few companies are easy to deal with when honoring these defects to the consumer. Pluggable in my book gets 5 stars for quality of easy working products, as well as 5 stars for going ABOVE and Beyond measure to get me a working product again, EVEN IN ANOTHER COUNTRY!!
BUY WITH CONFIDENCE! Thanks PLUGGABLE!
Bear Adams.
One of my users wanted three monitors because he deals with large, complex spreadsheets. His request was for a new laptop. Well, with budget constraints I had to say no to that request. Fortunately I stumbled across this product. For MUCH less than the cost of a new laptop it promised to add a third display to keep my user happy.
Well naturally when the product arrived I wanted to test it out myself, and good thing too! Out of the box this device did not work. The connector was flaky so the slightest movement would disconnect the device. Also, the device driver would not load. I was about to return it as a dud when I decided to email tech support.
I got a nearly instantaneous response from tech support (located in Seattle, not abroad). After few emails back and forth and running a diagnostic program we found that this device was bad. They shipped me a new, tested device that same day.
Well now I can say that I am 100% satisfied. This gadget performs exactly as advertised on my windows 8 laptop. Installation was easy. When the unit is plugged into the USB slot Windows recognizes it and downloads the driver automatically. I also had to install the software from the web site. In a few minutes the third monitor was showing my desktop. I found that I could manage the multiple monitors either through the app in the system tray, or by using windows control panel.
Bottom line, for a small cost I have a very happy user, and in the process I found a company that stands behind their product with a well run and responsive tech support department.
A couple final things to mention....
- One reviewer said the USB connection was proprietary. That is incorrect. The connection to the device is USB 3.0 micro B plug, which is currently kinda rare but when USB 3.0 is fully implemented this plug will be the standard.
- Speaking of USB 3.0, nearly every computer sold in the last few years has a USB 2.0 slot. This device will work on USB 2.0, but will be slower.
- This device uses system resources for the display. It uses the computer's memory and CPU, which means that on a slower computer you might notice that the extra display slows the computer down even more than normal. I did not notice any performance issues rendering a large spreadsheet on a core i7 laptop with 8gb RAM.
- This device is NOT suitable for video playback or games. Video playback was choppy and I have no doubt that Call of Duty would would be unplayable. But spreadsheets, word docs, email, etc all will work fine.

Chiaramente costa di più delle cinesate da 10euro ma funzione bene.
Basta scaricare il driver dal sito ed installarlo, poi attacchi il cavo e il resto lo fa da solo. Windows lo riconosce perfettamente come se fosse una porta nativa della scheda video. Non ho fatto test di prestazioni spinte perché io lo uso per lavoro ma posso dire che le prestazioni per i non giocatori sono ottime!
Unico difetto che ho incontrato è stata la connessione vga: se il monitor ha l'ingresso digitale dvi consiglio di usare quello perché la doppia conversione digitale analogico mi ha alterato i colori e vedevo tutto magenta. Cambiato il cavo ha funzionato subito.
Das Gerät ist unter Windows 10 plug and play. Man steckt es ein, wartet kurz bis Windows den Treiber installiert, steckt den Monitor an und es funktioniert einwandfrei.
Ich bemerke im Betrieb ab und an leichte Eingabeverzögerungen, also wenn ich die Maus auf dem Monitor der am Adapter steckt bewege, hat der Zeiger manchmal (insbesondere wenn die normale Grafikkarte beschäftigt scheint) eine kurze Verzögerung. Das ist allerdings nicht immer der Fall und stört mich auch im Normalbetrieb nicht, da auf dem Monitor der mit dieser Karte läuft sowieso keine Anwendungen laufen, bei denen das relevant wäre.
Mit anderen Worten erfüllt das Gerät seinen Zweck einwandfrei wenn man sich den Limitationen bekannt ist. Gaming sollte man damit jedenfalls nicht betreiben, dafür sollte der Monitor direkt an eine Grafikkarte bzw. an den PC angeschlossen werden. Für jeden, der allerdings einen weiteren Monitor anschließen möchte und die Grafikkarte das entweder nicht unterstützt oder bereits alle Slots aufgebraucht sind, kann durchaus auf diesen Adapter zurückgreifen.
I was ecstatic after trying for a few days to make the other ones work. Don't waste your time on those other devices - buy this one! It comes with a DVI, a VGA and an HDMI connector for whatever monitor type you wish to connect.
This is a great little product, the website is informative and most of all, it works like a charm. I highly recommend this adapter if you want to add another monitor to your laptop, or desktop but don't have any extra video ports - this fixes the situation out of the box.
