StarTech USB 3.0 to DVI/VGA External Video Card Multi-Monitor Adapter (Black)

The black USB 3.0 to DVI/VGA External Video Card Multi-Monitor Adapter from StarTech turns an available USB 3.0 port into a DVI output with 2048 x 1152 high-resolution video support. This is a convenient external video solution that makes it easy to add multi-monitor capability to a USB 3.0-enabled desktop or laptop computer (optimal performance from USB 3.0, backwards compatible with USB 2.0).

The adapter can be used to mirror your primary desktop, showing the same image on each display.
