Customer Review: Good within its limits
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
Followup two years later:
My Tritton USB/SVGA adapter had a lamentably short life. It began to freeze, necessitating reboots, until it died.
However, I now have an EVGA UV Plus+16, which is much superior to the Tritton. Video speed is nearly equivalent to the SVGA, at 1280 x 1024, with 32 bit color depth. Much more stable.
