Gefen kicks out USB to DVI graphics adapter |
Gefen is now making available a USB to DVI connector for those who want to add additional digital video displays or projectors. It is called the Gefen USB to DVI Graphics Adapter and it will cost you around $130.
The Gefen USB to DVI Graphics Adapter is designed to do as the name implies – bringing additional display options to your computer through a USB connection. It works with the Windows operating system and sports a DVI port to which you hook up a monitor. On the other end is a USB port for a computer connection. Output video to these monitors comes in the DVI-I format.
Other features of this graphics adapter include support for screen resolutions up to 1600 x 1200, option of mirroring of main display or extending desktop and computer support for up to six graphics adapters. It is available now.

I have seen a few of these popping up on blogs now – http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/adapter/usb-to-dvi-adapter-expands-screen-space-without-adding-video-cards-316944.php
I think that they are all pretty comparable since the internals all seem to be Displaylink chips. Gefen’s page doesn’t explicitly say it, but the specs are all identical to the Displaylink specs – browse through this page and you will notice a lot of similarities.
@TomJ:
That’s correct. They’re all running the DisplayLink chip so they’re pretty comparable. They’re pretty neat little devices. We’ve got a video of hooking 6 up to a display on our site here:

Also, it’s worth mentioning that these will work on Intel-based Macs when they release the Mac driver on March 31st. It will be available through our site or through Display link on their download page.
