The ability to connect multiple monitors to a single computer system is something that can certainly save a lot of time and money when it comes to productivity. This is especially true when you’re talking about laptops with less-than-sizable screens. It used to be that you had to hunt down a DVI connector so you could connect a larger monitor to your laptop and even then you were limited on both resolution and number of screens. The Lenovo USB-to-DVI monitor adapter is set to change all of that. Now you can connect up to six separate HD monitors to your laptop or desktop PC using only your USB 2.0 ports.

The Lenovo USB-to-DVI Monitor Adapter just made adding multiple high-resolution (HD) resolution monitors a helluva lot easier. Now you can increase your personal productivity to help your bosses squeeze even more work out of you for less money by doubling or tripling your visual 2D-business graphics workspace. And isn’t that what we all want? You can add as many as six additional monitors, or three for ThinkPad switchable graphics, to a single system. You’ll need a separate adapter for each monitor, though, which means you’ll need several open USB ports or a hub to take full advantage.

According to Lenovo, set-up is simple. You install the supplied device driver and toolbar software, connect the supplied cable to your monitor and to the Lenovo USB-to-DVI Monitor Adapter, then plug the cable into an available USB port on your computer. The supplied software allows you to select the desired screen resolution and portrait-landscape image orientation. Since the adapter uses its own graphics processor it will definitely put a tax on your system performance, so you should make sure your system is able to handle the extra load.

The Lenovo USB-to-DVI Monitor Adapter supports 16:10 widescreen monitors up to 1920 x 1200 resolution and 16:9 widescreen monitors up to 2048 x 1152 resolution, including 1920 x 1080 native HD resolution. It also features a DVI-I digital video output for enhanced sharpness and clarity. You can directly attach a DVI digital monitor or a VGA analog monitor using the provide DVI-to-VGA monitor adapter and you’re good to go. Also, monitors can be configured for landscape “horizontal” or portrait “vertical” viewing for 90-, 180-, and 270-degree image rotation.
