EVGA has announced that they have begun shipping their new line of USB graphics adapters called “UV Plus+”. (plus plus? Eh, they can call it whatever they want I suppose.)
The new UV Plus+ adapters plug into the USB port on your Windows Vista or XP computer (sorry, looks like no Mac support at this time) and then on the monitor end it supports both VGA and DVI connections.
While the UV Plus+ doesn’t have an on-board GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) it does still support Windows Vista Aero.
Two models will be available in this line–the UV12 and UV16. Apart from physically different, it looks like the only other difference between the two models will be the resolutions they support.
For more info and to see which resolutions are supported, check out the product page here.
Could be a nice, easy way to add an additional monitor to your computer without having to pay for a new video card (assuming the card you have now supports just one display).
No pricing info yet but they are expected to be less $100 but since they are shipping we’ll find out soon enough.
