[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1126955, member: 131855"] I have two external monitors connected to my 2008 MacBook Pro running 10.6. 4. The 24" Samsung is connected directly to the MacBook Pro and a 19" monitor is connected through the OwC USB adapter. [url=http://www.atpm.com/15.08/owc-usb-display-adapter.shtml]ATPM 15.08 - Review: OWC USB 2.0 Display Adapter[/url] The device works fine whether connected through the computer's USB port or a powered hub. The limitations are that it does not support applications that require Open GL (check the review for exactly what happens). I have also found that once in a while the system will lock up if it goes completely to sleep. There are other similar devices out there. Not sure if they have the same limitations. [/QUOTE]
