However, I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS, so it's buyer beware if you attempt this.)Īnyway, I bought two of the BVU195 and installed them in my desktop, to drive the smaller secondary displays that sit right and left of my primary display.

The BVU195 Vista driver is available as a free download from the Diamond website, and I have a suspicion that you may be able to purchase the cheaper BVU160 hardware and download the BVU195 Vista driver for it. If anybody has successfully installed the BVU160 on a Vista system, I'd like to hear about it. I do wonder if this is an artificial price difference. (The cheaper Diamond BVU160 is identical in every specification except is not certified for Vista and Windows 7. I purchased the Diamond BVU195 rather than some less expensive alternatives for several reasons: It supported a higher resolution than many other products, and it offered Vista compatibility. Each pair of the four outputs had to be the same resolution, and you could not control placement of the primary screen between the secondary screens, in terms of the mouse movement.Īs I continued to research multi-monitor displays, I finally discovered USB multimonit or display adaptors. The available resolution settings did not accomodate widescreens, and certainly did not accomodate having one or more screens rotated. Still wanting 3 displays, I finally ponied up almost 0 for a Matrox quad monitor display card. The saved settings file seemed very unreliable.

I would turn on the PC to discover that the primary monitor display was rotated 90 degrees and the secondary monitor had no display, so I would have to tilt my head sideways while I tried to reset all the parameters to my preferred settings. I lived with that for a while, but found that the ATI card freque ntly "forgot" which monitor was the primary monitor, "forgot" that one monitor was rotated to portrait mode, and even "forgot" that there were two monitors. I was disappointed to discover that the ATI card disabled the internal video card, so I was left with a dual monitor system.
In my first attempt to build a triple monitor system, I naively installed a dual output ATI video card, thinking I could use those two outputs in conjunction with my existing internal video to acheive a triple monitor output. My desktop PC had a built-in video driver. One of the side monitors is rotated +90 degrees and the other rotated -90 degrees to portrait mode.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: A little background and history: My stock trading multi-monitor setup has 3 monitors: the center 24" widescreen monitor is 1920x1200, and the secondary monitors on either side are 19" widescreens (1440x900).

By the way, I do have the latest video drivers loaded for all devices.

And one other fault - sometimes one of the screens will suddenly be gin to display a series of primary colors, blinking red-green-blue forever until I turn that monitor off and on again. The restart-fixable fault occurs about every 8 days, whereas the major fault where everything gets fouled up occurs about every 2 months. I think it's a hardware/software conflict - I believe the Nvidia video controller built into my motherboard is trying to get control of the USB displays, and this seems to mess things up. Usually I can just restart the computer and everything will recover, but not always. But I've noticed that the screens will sometimes give a big blink, go black for a few seconds and when they recover, several things will go haywire: Resolution becomes wrong, portrait/landscape setting is wrong, and the desktop icons will resort themeselves into nonsensical locations.
I still use two of these on a daily basis, to create the 3-screen display described below. Not sure I can recommend this as highly as before. This review is from: Diamond BVU195 HD USB 2.0 to VGA / DVI / HDMI Adapter (DisplayLink DL-195 Chipset) (Personal Computers) ADDENDUM, 8 months after initial purchase.
