EVGA drops USB monitor boxes

Cheap and cheerful real estate
Tue May 06 2008, 10:01

THOSE LOOKING FOR a cheap way to hook up lots of monitors to their computer now have a new option from one of the top green team partners - EVGA.

The company best known for its extreme overclocking Geforce cards has come out with a new product called Display link, which is basically a box with a USB port to plug into your computer and a DVI port to plug into a monitor. The system allows for connection of four monitors at once which, combined with a pair of dual-output graphics cards, results in... a lot of monitors.

The Display Link comes in two models - the UV12, which goes to 1280x1024 (or 1440x900 widescreen) and the UV16, which goes to 1600x1200 (or 1680x1050 widescreen).

Both models are hyped to come in under $100, which is pretty good value we think. Stay tuned for imminent availability from your e-tailer of choice. µ

Yeah, but I want to see the video cards that crank out 16 million(?) AA/AF'd pixels of Flight Simulator before I'm convinced it's really that cool....

no really... I'd like to see that

Sounds nifty.

A cheap secondary monitor for increased productivity with no D-Sub, DIV, HDMI nonsense.

Huh?

Are the subs still a bit hungover from the bank holiday? Surely a headline of 'drops' implies that EVGA is stopping selling these boxes.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
