If you've ever been in a situation where you'd give anything to be able to add another monitor to your rig without needing to buy and install another video card, EVGA has an attractive solution. The self-powered UV Plus+ needs only a free USB 2.0 port to provide an additional display output, allowing you to mirror, expand, and even rotate your virtual desktop. The small, stackable UV Plus+ units come in two flavors - the UV Plus+ 12 is capable of resolutions up to 1440 x 900, and the UV Plus+ 16 can output at 1680 x 1050, and both models have a 60Hz refresh rate at maximum resolution. These Vista "Aero"-capable devices feature a GPU-less design, and are based on DisplayLink chips; both UV Plus+ models take advantage of a special virtual driver, some high-performance DDR memory, and Lossless Compression that allows them to transfer a crystal clear video signal to either a VGA or DVI output.
