DisplayLink Customer Doubles Up On LG USB Displays
"I heard of the LG USB Monitors by word-of-mouth. We provide two monitors per employee, as we are very well aware of the productivity increased that an additional monitor brings. We were very impressed in how easy it was to set up and get going. Also, the clarity of the LG USB monitors far surpassed the non-USB Dell ones we had in-house. In addition, the SW that manages the USB monitors makes the multi-monitor experience nicer and intuitive." IT Manager, Silicon Valley, CA
Dynadock is Universal, Easy to Support
DisplayLink today received another customer testimonial, this time highlighting the benefits of the Toshiba Dynadock universal docking station. We just had to share:
“The University buys the computers and peripherals indirectly from Toshiba. We have different notebook models ranging from high to low end. When docking or port replication was a requirement the Dynadock was the best choice for us, due to two reasons: the Dynadock works with every single notebook as they connect via USB, and therefore, very convenient, as well as they are much more affordable than a proprietary docking station.
The Dynadock is very easy to use, USB plug-and-play. We rolled-out 50 units, and IT support required less than five minutes per unit and desk to deploy.”

Happy Customer Cites Easy Set Up
“DisplayLink technology has not only solved my immediate issues but is shaping my new business, too! Our newly-hired head of finance requested to have at least two monitors plugged into his laptop computer. He had previously worked on multiple monitors, but needed the mobility of a notebook. A quick search on the Internet brought me to DisplayLink and from its online shop, we bought two USB monitors from ASUS.
Compared to conventional VGA/DVI monitors, the product is so easy to use. You just need to download the drivers and the screens are on! No worry about graphics cards, etc. Indeed USB plug-and-display. I was aware of the benefits of multiple-monitors, but not of how easy they could be to set up. Thanks to DisplayLink I am now planning to include this technology in other areas of the business, such as security. Multiple monitors are a wonderful tool to increase employee efficiency by spreading out tasks onto different monitors or by displaying applications which need to permanently run. Thank you DisplayLink!”

Intel Demos Quad Displays at IDF
  Multi-tasking aficionados have a chance to rejoice as DisplayLink and Intel introduced quad monitor support for next generation systems featuring Intel®4 Series Express Chipsets. Quad-monitor technology combines DisplayLink’s USB network display software with the Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family for desktop and notebook PCs, where, the technology outputs images on up to four displays at the same time - two integrated displays plus two DisplayLink (USB) enabled displays.
No extra graphics cards are required, making it easier, faster and less expensive for desktop and notebook users to achieve the benefits of multi-monitor computing. People can rely on a familiar USB interface to simply plug and view in multi-monitor mode, gaining more capabilities and productivity since they can spread several applications over four displays while viewing everything at once.
With DisplayLink USB graphics connection technology, users with PCs based on the Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family can easily connect to external peripherals they need without sacrificing performance, mobility or cost.
The DisplayLink graphics solution supported by the Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family is optimized for Windows Vista Basic and Ultimate Windows Vista Aero where accelerating video playback and high-definition images look more realistic. In addition, DisplayLink is optimized for DVD playback without compromising performance.
“Together with DisplayLink USB graphics technology, PC users now have the added capability to multitask and increase productivity with multiple screen outputs using PCs based on the Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset Family,” says Eric Mentzer, Graphics Development Group General Manager, Intel Corporation.
The New Status Symbol in Silicon Valley: Multiple Computer Screens
 Story by Richard Hart (ABC 7)Programmers and people in the financial industry have used more than one monitor for years It's the new status symbol in Silicon Valley: multiple computer screens. Size doesn't matter anymore; it's how many you have. It's the phenomenon of three, and even four computer monitors per person. Programmers and people in the financial industry have used more than one monitor for years. But lately, it's becoming common for the rest of us. Rhoda Alexander is one of growing number of people who use more than one computer monitor at the same time. "It helps me tremendously, because typically, in your average day, I might have 15 different files open at the same time." Rhoda is Director of monitor research for analyst firm iSuppli. "There's a certain amount of jealousy that gets into it," she jokes. "I do have office mates who come by and say, 'Wow! I want your setup!'" Two developments are driving the boom in multiple-monitors. The first is the arrival of plug-n-play connectors that make it easy to daisy-chain as many as 8 displays at once. One company, DisplayLink, expects the sales of "extra" monitors to grow by 25% this year. That's largely due to the rise of portable computing. In the coming year, we will buy more notebooks than desktops for the first time. Rhoda Alexander notes that, "35 percent, 38percentof consumers buy a monitor at the time they buy the notebook computer." We like the portability, but not the small screen. "I can work on the road in the kind of work that I do. But, oh, what a sigh of relief when I get back to where I have a lot of monitors to spread it out on." Why not use a single humongous monitor? Ergonomics. Experts say it's not a good idea to keep looking up and down so much, and it's easier on the eyes to have the screens folded in on you. So, you want more than a single monitor. Don't you?
New LG 22-Inch LCD USB Monitor With DisplayLink Technology
 LG announced this week the availability of its L226WU-PF 22in LCD monitor with integrated DisplayLink technology. The monitor features DisplayLink’s DL-160 circuit board, which makes it possible to add up to six extra displays via a USB 2.0 connection, technology that made its first appearance in the 20in L206WU. “We’re thrilled that LG is rapidly expanding its line of USB connected displays in partnership with DisplayLink,” said Hamid Farzaneh, president and chief executive at DisplayLink. In-Stat research projects that USB network displays will exceed 26 million units and 40 million units in 2010 and in 2011 respectively, and LG is among the key forward-thinking display companies leading this major paradigm shift.” The L226WU-PF features 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, a 5:000:1 dynamic and 1,000:1 native contrast ratio and a claimed two millisecond response time for grey-to-grey movement of pixels. The display is also equipped with a standard D-Sub and digital DVI connections. Availability has been confirmed for Europe but pricing had not been confirmed at time of writing.

DisplayLink Simplifies Connection to InFocus Projectors
 If you haven’t been a victim yourself, you’ve probably been at a meeting where it has happened. Someone is about to do a presentation when they notice they don’t have the right type of display cable or graphics port to connect to the projector. Another good one is where the cable is not a problem, but the screen resolution of the computer is, so people watch and wait while you figure out what resolution a projector will support. Well, through our partnership with InFocus, we have come up with a better way to handle the connection between a computer and a projector. InFocus now has two projector models that will feature DisplayLink’s USB graphics connection technology. It’s as simple as it sounds. Rather then using another type of cable, users will be able to utilize a simple USB cable to connect their laptop to a projector. Now there’s no fumbling around for the right cable, or messing around with the correct resolution the projector will support. InFocus projectors supporting the DisplayLink technology will include the InFocus IN3100 and IN1100 series. The IN3100 will be available June 30th for US$1499. The IN1100 will retail for US$1099 and will be available August 8th.
