Description
Use your HDMI TV as an extra display, even with older PCs and laptops without a built-in HDMI connector.
Requirements
This adapter adds HDMI connectivity via any available USB 2.0 port. Enables a single HDMI cable to carry both USB graphics and USB audio to your HDMI TV or monitor with speakers, or other HDMI audio/video receiver. Uses USB graphics chips and drivers from DisplayLink and standard USB audio drivers already built into Windows. Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, or later required. Mac and Linux are not supported at this time (only beta-level USB graphics drivers are available for these platforms).
HDMI TV Compatibility
Most, but not all, TVs are compatible. The exceptions are TVs that don't support EDID (which communicates monitor capabilities to the PC) or which require specific higher versions of the HDMI spec, beyond 1.0.
Performance
Sets modes up to 1920×1080 (1080p), however we recommend users set manually set Windows to 720p (1280×720) or lower for best video playback performance. Above this mode, framerates will be limited by the USB 2.0 connection.
Included in package
Main HDMI adapter unit, USB 2.0 cable for connecting back to PC, driver CD, and quickstart guide. Assumes use of a standard HDMI 19-pin male connector between adapter and TV (HDMI cable not included).

Troubleshooting
We often hear customers say 'After using multiple monitors, I can't go back!'. If you're doing information work — looking at one document while editing another, researching, or generally working on several things at once — it's indispensable.
Simply drag windows back and forth to make use of all the extra Windows desktop space.
Plugable USB graphics adapters fully support rotation — turn one or both screens to show documents in gorgeous full-page layout (with a monitor stand that's capable of rotation).
A common setup is to create a beautifully symmetric yet flexible 3 display desktop, combining your laptop display with 2 extra monitors on either side with your laptop's external graphics port + one Plugable adapter, or with two Plugable adapters to allow easy USB dock/undock.
Hardware Requirements and Recommendations
- CPU: Dual-core or 2GHz processor or better recommended on Windows Vista, Win7, and Mac (Single core ULV or Intel Atom class processors or better are recommended for Windows XP and Linux)
- GPU: Used for 2D/3D rendering on Windows Vista and Win7, requiring a single Intel, nVidia, or ATI primary WDDM driver. Not recommended in combination with ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology.
Driver and OS Version details
WINDOWS VERSION COMPATIBILITY:
Drivers are provided automatically via Microsoft's Windows Update mechanism with approved drivers across all of Windows XP, Vista, and Windows 7. 64-bit and full Aero support on Vista and Windows 7. Windows XP 64-bit not supported. Note that Microsoft limits multiple display support in Windows 7 'Starter' Edition and Windows Vista 'Home Basic' Edition to mirroring screens.
For Server 2008 (32 and 64-bit) and Server 2008 R2 (64-bit), drivers are not provided through Windows Update. To function, Aero theme must be enabled (which is not the default), and a WDDM capable primary graphics driver installed (some server hardware comes with low-end graphics hardware like Matrox GPUs, which do not support WDDM). To insure everything is in place, Windows' built-in Aero troubleshooter should run without issues. Once it does, download and install DisplayLink drivers .
MAC VERSION COMPATIBILITY:
Up to 4 DisplayLink devices can be used with a Mac.
DisplayLink's Mac driver for OS X Lion 10.7, Snow Leopard 10.6, Leopard 10.5, and Tiger 10.4 is available at http://displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php. DisplayLink notes the following limitation: 'This driver does not support 3D acceleration. Some features of Mac OS X-based applications that require hardware OpenGL acceleration, such as Keynote presentations and iPhoto slideshows, will not function properly.'
See http://displaylink.com/mac for more info
LINUX COMPATIBILITY:
As of Linux kernel 2.6.31, this adapter has open source drivers in the kernel staging tree. As of 2.6.38, the driver was promoted to the main kernel tree. Configuration of X Windows for USB displays is still distribution and scenario dependent, however, and only for very adventurous users. Plugable is involved with Linux development work, see https://plugable.com/category/platform/linux/ for details.

'Plug, play, and perfection!'
This did exactly what it was supposed to. I have a Toshiba R940 running Windows 7 with a docking station going to multiple monitors. I got the mult. monitors working ONCE on the docking station and never again. I got tired of wondering why and simply ordered this to make my problem go away.
I could not have asked for anything better, I connected my monitor (used the included DVI->HDMI adapter, connected to an HDMI/DVI cable), plugged in the USB cable. The drivers installed automatically (no downloads or installation disc needed), my screens blinked a few times, and presto! it came right up, with an extended desktop at the monitor's resolution, just like I wanted. I didn't even have to open the control panel and mess with the extended desktop settings!

' Yes, it works very good '
I use it to be able to have three monitors connected to my Mac Mini (mid 2010). I have used it for 6 months and It works very good. So far no problems at all. Strongly recommended.

'Works beautifully with Windows 10 and Mac OS X 10.11 (El Capitan)'
I have this hooked up to a 2 port KVM switch. I toggle back and fourth with the KVM between a PC running Windows 10 and a Macbook running OS X 10.11.3 (El Capitan). The Coredy MDA1920 activates my second monitor instantly and flawlessly on both computers. I am very happy with the adapter working so well on both operating systems and at such a low price.
