Cables To Go Port Authority2 user reviews (USB 2.0 to XGA Adapter)

Pros nice bright blue LED

Cons doesn't work as advertised, or really at all!

Summary This thing is TOTAL GARBAGE!. Do ***NOT*** buy it! I paid $99 for it, which is $99 too much.

First off: The alleged manufacturer's web page (CablesToGo; really an anonymous Taiwan OEM) said it would do 1600 x 1200 - total lie; max. is 1280 x 1024.

Second: at its highest res, 1280 x 1024, the display locks up after only several minutes. Disabling it and re-enabling gets it working again, but who the devil is going to do that every 4 minutes?

Third: yes, that video display lags immensely. I’m writing code, so fast screen update is not needed, so I could live with this. IF it did the res. advertised; IF it actually worked for more than 4 minutes at a stretch.

I'll be sending mine back for a 100% refund, I HOPE. This thing is A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!
