Great Product.......2007-05-17

Easy to set up and worked for what I needed without any complaints.

*Almost* Unbearably Slow.......2007-05-08

I have two monitors at work and found it difficult to switch between that and my one-monitor laptop at home. This definitely lets my laptop use two monitors like it has two graphics cards, but the one plugged into the Tritton was so.....incredibly.....slow......It was tricky to type email, hard to use Dreamweaver, and I didn't even try using Photoshop (but I do put the Photoshop pallets in the window). In short, would be good for laptop users without a 2nd graphics port, but if you have a desktop, crack open the case and get a 2nd video card.

Excellent within its limits.......2007-04-27

The Tritton is an excellent product as long as you bear its limitations in mind. It is definitely not the equivalent of a high-performance graphics card, but it is great for extending your desktop to one more monitor. That's what I needed and that's what I got, easily and cheaply.

I use Windows XP on a Sony VAIO laptop with one external SVGA port. Some of my work is very graphics intensive and some is not (e.g., email, programming). I needed more screen space, i.e., multiple monitors.

Using the Tritton SEE2, I now have ample room to work on three screens. In addition to the laptop screen, I use two external LCD panels, one connected to the laptop's SVGA port, and one connected to a USB 2.0 port using the Tritton. I use the SVGA port monitor or the laptop monitor for graphics-intensive tasks, and the USB monitor for primarily textual tasks.

The instructions are good, and the basic setup was easy. After installing the drivers from the CD, I set up an Extended Desktop configuration in Windows XP. The laptop recognized all three monitors and allowed me to set different resolutions and color depths as needed. I run the USB monitor at 1280 x 1024, with 16 bit color. I run the SVGA one at 1280 x 1024 with 32 bit color, and the laptop at 1280 x 800 with 32 bit color. Configuring the SVGA port external monitor as the Primary Monitor took some trial and error, but worked OK.

This setup is not completely perfect, but its a vast improvement over what I could do otherwise. The monitor running through USB is somewhat slower than the one running through the SVGA port, as one would expect. If I run the graphics-intensive tasks on the USB monitor, I find the slowness annoying. But for textual tasks, it works great and I'm very happy to have it.

Previously, I tried the Matrox DualHead2Go product. It worked very nicely, and both external monitors were equally fast, but it would only allow me 1280 x 768 resolution due to my particular graphics chipset, which I found insufficient and annoying. If you can afford the higher price for the Matrox, and it is compatible with your graphics chipset at the resolution you need, you may be happier with the Matrox approach. Otherwise, using the Tritton for low-intensity graphics is a great way to get more screen real-estate.

Overall, I am very pleased with the Tritton SEE2 product and wouldn't want to be without it.

DOES NOT SUPPORT WINDOWS VISTA!!!.......2007-02-16

I mistakenly purchased this item hoping to use it with my Windows Vista laptop. Don't do that! The tech support case that I registered to simply ask when they expected to have a Windows Vista driver went unanswered for over a week. Good thing I stopped waiting for an answer after about three days. Thus far, the only Windows Vista compatible device that I have found for using more than one monitor with my laptop is the Matrox Dual and Triple Head2Go devices. I am using a DualHead2Go right now, but I really wish I purchased a triple. What I didn't think about when buying the less expensive DualHead2Go is that the center of my screen (where most messages default to appear) is right at the split between two monitors. The TripleHead2Go would not have the same problem as it uses three screens as one, so the center would be in the center of the center screen (instead of divided between two screens as in the Dual).

OUTSTANDING!! DOUBLES YOUR PRODUCTIVITY.......2007-02-07

As an office worker, I would be lost without this device. You can use the doubled room on your desktop for anything and it comes in handy. Keep your email open, work on vastly expanded spreadsheets without scrolling, talk to your significant others via webcam on the other screen; Anything is possible with this $75 tool. It will pay for itself in a day and you'll be wondering why you purchase it sooner.
