Accell UltraAV DisplayPort to DVI Multi-Monitor Adapter Review

Setup and Usage
Well what are we going to be using the UltraAV with? The computer system we are using is the Dell Studio XPS 1640, it has the DisplayPort output. We are going to be using 3 different monitors as well, a ViewSonic VX2433wm 23.6-inch, ViewSonic VLED221wm 22-inch and a Dell 2001FPW 20.1-inch.

The first thing you are going to want to do is connect all 3 of your monitors to the UltraAV. Then go ahead and connect both the USB and DisplayPort connections to your computer. As soon as you do that Windows will automatically detect the UltraAV and install the drivers. Once it has done that it will clone your main desktop display on all 3 of the monitors, which is pretty cool.

Obviously you do not want the display to be cloned on all 3 of the displays. You can easily go into your display properties and change it to extend the display. One thing that caught me by surprise was that it recognizes all 3 displays as 1 single display. While this isn’t bad I would rather have 3 independent displays. That way they could operate at different resolutions and I could have certain things maximized on different screens.

Using the displays as one large extended is pretty cool though. Anytime you have more desktop room it is nice. The 3 displays are configured as one large display with a resolution of 3840 x 1024. That is a max resolution we could get with our monitor setup. It still worked pretty good as I could have different things open on the 3 different monitor which made it very easy to multitask.

  1. One major con you seemed to miss: Terrible resolution support. Up to 1024 vertical? That pretty much means no widescreen monitors worth anything. To be worth anything as far as I'm concerned it needs to at least be able to handle 1050 pixels and preferably 1200, plus widescreen resolutions. The Matrox Dual/TripleHead2Go boxes have a similar limitation, but almost every monitor on the market today has a resolution higher than 1280×1024 and running a LCD at a non-native resolution just looks bad so it's unacceptable to have such a low limit.

  2. The only use I could have for this is if I were playing a PC game with three accounts. One for the leech (that would be on a separate monitor) then the healer and damage dealer on the main monitor for switching between the two. Yes I tend to game like that.

  3. TaylorMade is an undisputed industry leader in golf equipment, offering a complete product line with innovative design and technology-based product for golfers of all skill levels. It has produced the Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver. I have used the driver. I can gain more distance. So the Burner SuperFast 2.0 Driver will give you more yards. The Burner is even longer then that club and the mishits are more forgiving. The light club shaft has enabled me to generate more club head speed and hit the ball further and more accurately. My average drive went from about 250 with the FTIZ to about 270 with the Burner. I also love the White Head at address. Great Club.
