Powered by DisplayLink's top-end silicon, the Targus USB 3.0 Dual Video Adapter is a great option for users looking to add multiple displays to a laptop or small form factor PC who require excellent performance and compatibility.

Superb video quality ; Impressive 3D compatibility ; Simple configuration through Windows ; Multiple interfaces supported out of the box ; 16-bit/48kHz HDMI audio support ; Supports monitor detection, EDID, HDCP ; Backwards compatible with USB 2.0

Short USB cable ; DVI-I port is single-link only ; Dual VGA is unsupported ; Heavy stuttering in 24p video ; No digital interface for AC3 / DTS 5.1 passthrough

Consumer review (newegg.com)

We have over 100 of these

 

We have phased these out of service completely do to them being unreliable and causing problems.

Nice design you can set your laptop directly on top to put your keyboard at a good typing angle. Easy to setup

out of 100+ of these we had to pull almost half from service due to unpredictable operation. Did some updates on firmware fixed some issues but also caused more problems. Gigabit Network port worked on some and didn't on others. Would stop working in...

Unreliable

 

With plenty of other USB3 dock options out there, I suggest you try something other than this one.

Works as expected for a while

We purchased 4 of these for our employees (myself included), and after right around 13 months, 3 of them have partially failed (the fourth is showing signs of dying now) ; The units become very unreliable, requiring you power cycle them in order for...

Great to use with Surface Pro

 

it includes dvi to hdmi adapter even if you want to make a dual screen setup

I wanted to make my surface pro my desktop pc, so i bought this docking station, so far works great, has plenty of usb 2.0 and 3.0 slots for your needs, also has hdmi output, dvi and ethernet, works great on my surface pro, everything works as should

Sometimes there is a little ghosting and/or low framerate on the output via hdmi but is not big deal also requires to be plugged to a wall charger to be working so is not that portable, otherwise, works great

Spotty Performance

 

Switched to a Kensington sd3500v and it uses the same displaylink drivers. No problems in over 24 hours. I would say spend a little more and get the one that won't hang up on you.

Plugs and plays nicely on Windows 8 Acer w700. Downloaded drivers from Targus and it was working in under 10 minutes

Spotty performance. Cursor would freeze, network would hang. Programs would lock up

Driver Nightmare

 

Works well, and an excellent price

After installing drivers on a digital to analog converter, the two drivers clashed and the docking station lost, rendering it useless until I uninstalled the drivers and downloaded the latest ones from Targus ; IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS 8 CHUCK THE DISC AND...

Not too shabby..

 

A lot of people like light weight mice, not me. I like my mouse to have some substance to it. When the mouse is light weight, the cord adds resistance when trying to use the mouse, which can cause it to be less accurate. I haven't run into this with...

1.) Nice feel/shape

It's very light. Most people like this, but I don't - Explanation below.
