Need to play a video from one device on another? StarTech.com USB Video Adapters have got you covered.

What is a USB Video Adapter?

A USB Video Adapter, or also known as USB Graphics Adapter is a device which allows you to convert any present USB port into an external video output, thus, allowing you to add additional display monitors to your desktop or laptop setup. The device takes one USB port which can then serve to one or many video connections, creating a convenient way to add multi-monitor capabilities.

Benefits of Multi-Display setup?

A USB Video Adapter lets you mirror or duplicate display monitors and is a perfect solution for work and home environments where you require multi-displays or need to expand your display view. The adapter can also be an ideal solution for when you no longer have additional video ports available on your computer but require a spare video port for additional displays.

USB Video Adapters are also ideal for those on-the-move or for regular travellers, the adapter is ideal for connecting your laptop to a video display, expanding your desktop to single or multiple monitors.

Having a multi-display setup, whether at home or work, can help with productivity and efficiency by increasing the workspace and having several windows open across multiple monitors at the same time. Multi-tasking has never been easier with a USB to Video Adapter.
