I was surprised to find that it worked exactly as I had hoped.
I purchased the HDMI version of the device and tested it out. I was skeptical when I found a device at MicroCenter, made by j5create, that allows you to run up to six additional displays off the USB ports on a Mac or Windows PC. The problem is that to the laptop, there is only one display…and the quality suffers. I have read some articles about connecting a piece of hardware that splits the monitor signal into two, allowing you to set your resolution to something like 2800×1024 and then splitting that into two 1400×1024 displays. I know that the newer Macbooks support running multiple displays via the thunderbolt or Dual-link DVI, but this model Macbook does not support either technology. I long for my Windows-based desktop at home where I can run two monitors from the on-board video card. When working from the office, I connect an external keyboard/trackball and also an external monitor via the DisplayPort. Like many, I use a laptop to stay portable.
