OWC introduces the USB 2.0 Display Adapter for Mac

Another leap for Mac users. Its the new USB 2.0 Display Adapter for Mac.
Here's the whole story:



The new device supports screen resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels and works with DVI, HDMI and VGA displays. The interface can be used to connect a second monitor to mirror the image of the main screen or extend the desktop in order to allow you to use more applications or open more windows at the same time.

The USB 2.0 Display Adapter comes with an USB to DVI adapter, software, four-foot USB 2.0 cable, DVI to VGA adapter and DVI to HDMI swivel adapter. To work with this device, your Mac computer needs to have Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later installed.

Other World Computing (OWC) pointed out that the USB 2.0 Display Adapter doesn’t support OpenGL graphics acceleration. That is to say, this device doesn’t support (at least completely) system applications and functions that require OpenGL, for example some effects in Keynote presentations, iPhone slideshows and iMovie.

This device has a similar concept as some products licensed by DisplayLink; however, it is not clear if this device has any relation with DisplayLink or one of its allied manufacturers.
