Manufacturer Part #: DU2781
Get DVI or VGA, ethernet, USB 2.0 ports, a speakers audio port, and a mic port, giving you everything you need via USB and DisplayLink's USB to video chip.
Displaylink's USB to DVI has become super popular among people that want a quality extended desktop display for their laptop, but their auxiliary video ports are already taken, or they just don't have one. We're taking it one step further and allowing people with a USB port to completely dock their laptop to their alternate display, mouse, keyboard, ethernet, audio equipment, and other USB devices (like printers or iPods).
Displaylink's chip doesn't rely on the bandwidth between the external display video unit (which is housed and included in this dock) and the computer. The chip basically allows the computer's processor to expand your computer's desktop real estate to another screen. That is why this chip is ideal for this kind of application where you have multiple USB devices, internet, audio, and video being put through a single USB connection.
The video from this docking station is incredibly clear and snappy. It will appear that your display is plugged into a conventional video card.
Using this docking station is really easy. When you get into work or home with your laptop and need to connect it to your workstation, simply connect the provided USB cable to your laptop. It will take a couple moments to recognize, and you will have a complete workstation ready for you to use with your laptop.
