Capabilities Compatibility and Limitations Plugable Adapters UGA-165 USB-VGA-165 UGA-3000 UGA-4KHDMI UGA-4KDP Review: A very usefull device - The use of a second monitor has been an integral part of my computing experience for a few years now in both desktop and laptop (at home or work). I have recently begun contemplating the use of a third display (and possibly more) ever since I have begun using virtual machines extensively. To my dismay I found out that the laptop I use as my main machine (3 yr old model) does not support the use of both its graphics output ports (VGA + HDMI) at the same time. Conveniently enough at roughly the same time period I came across the entry for the plugable USB2 UGA multi-display adapter in desertcart. I thought it was worth a try as the price was not prohibitive for a bit of experimentation. I was positively impressed by the email I received before the product was delivered pointing me towards more online information as well as the latest drivers (thumbs up for good customer support). When the UGA adapter arrived, the installation process in Windows 7 Ultimate went without any problems whatsoever. The integration with the graphics interface in windows is flawless as far as I am concerned. On the down side I have observed a bit of a lag upon occasion on the third display (the one connected on the USB port via the adapter) expecially when playing back video on this display with loads of other things going on in the laptop. I take this to mean that there is some computing overhead in the use of the UGA adapter but I have not looked into this any further as it does not bother me for my intended use of the product. I find it really interesting (and convenient for my case) that when I am running a virtual machine (for example linux) and I have this displayed in the monitor connected to the UGA adapter there is no detectable lag even when playing video in the virtual machine (the device driver for the adapter is still running in the host system which for my case in Win 7). Summarizing, I find the UGA adapter very usefull with right pricing and up to spec operation. Review: Very impressed - best solution for laptops - After doing some research on the Web I ordered two Plugable UGA-165 USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI adaptors as they seem to score the best with other users. Well, I am happy to say I was not disappointed. Actually I am absolutely delighted with this product's performance and quality of hardware and software. Hardware wise everything works exactly as advertised. Software installation went without a single glitch, and it perfectly integrated itself into Windows7 and my existing Matrox TripleHead2Go environment. No effect on CPU usage, RAM usage is about 1% extra to what it was before installation. Simply put - it does what I wanted, it does it very well and I would definitely recommend this piece of kit.

The USB Wall app utilizes the Plugable devices in a way that windows identifies the four screens as one big screen which we could either extend or clone with our primary screen. (See in the video attached here) Please note: we had to uninstall DisplayLink driver and use OSBASE driver instead. I'm giving this product only 4 stars as I wouldn't recommend it for HD videos as its refresh rate is not the best, but for lower resolution content it works very well. If you do need to run a Full HD video, I would recommend on a device called LKV325 or MiniPoint USB. ## Frequently Bought Together - Plugable USB 2.0 to DVI, VGA, or HDMI Multi-Monitor External Video Graphics Card Adapter up to 1920x1080 Supports Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 7, XP, Mac, and ChromeOS - Plugable Universal Laptop Docking Station Dual HDMI Monitor for Windows and Mac (Driver Required), USB 3.0 or USB-C, 2X HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, Audio, 6 USB Ports (UD-3900) - Logitech MK345 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse Combo with Palm Rest, 2.4 GHz USB Receiver, Compatible with PC, Laptop, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/55612629-plugable-usb-2-0-to-dvi-vga-or-hdmi-multi](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/55612629-plugable-usb-2-0-to-dvi-vga-or-hdmi-multi) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
