Summary: laptop to 50 inch hdtv
Comment: i have a 50 inch panasonic hdtv and i wanted to view the internet from my laptop. i tried the s video and it was horrible. i could not read the letters. after a search on the internet, i found the arkview. price reasonably and easily installed with usb to hdmi. after hooking up the arkview, it was like viewing a 50 inch monnitor. image sharp and clear. although i my arkview did not have the phonojacks with it, i can easily connect my laptop to the stereo. split screen is great too.
good job arkview. higly recommend for those of us with a big screen hdtv.
ps. i ordered a second one for a friend.

Summary: Does not work with Mac... At all.
Comment: I recently purchased an Arkview USB to DVI adapter and tried for hours to get it to work on my OSX snow leopard mac book pro to no avail. There are "beta" drivers that Arkview directs you to download. I'm pretty good at hacking around to get things to work, but these drivers would not work on my system. It looks as if it installs, but the device never activates.
So I read somewhere that the drivers for Leopard (not Snow) seem to be the way to go, so I dusted off my Mac Book from a couple years ago with Leopard, tried installing the non-beta drivers, and still nothing.
I called Arkview and they will provide very limited support for Mac users because they do not support the Mac drivers that are required to install this device on a Mac.
I've also read that some people have REINSTALLED their complete OS and installed the drivers on a fresh system and it seems to get it to work. In my book, that does not make your device "Mac Compatible".
Mac users be warned!

Summary: Works Great
Comment: If you want an additional monitor without installing a video card, this is a perfect solution. I wanted to use my 23" Samsung TV/Monitor as an additional computer monitor. Since I didn't have a dual monitor video card, I was shopping for a reasonable video card when I noticed this USB adapter. How lucky I was. You simply plug the USB cable to the adapter, connect your choice of cable to the TV and in minutes you're in business. Picture quality is great. I'm not a gamer so I can't comment on that area, but for my needs (Microsoft Office, Internet, etc.),this product was the answer.

Summary: Blue Screen of Death
Comment: I purchased this to connect to an IBM Thinkpad running a 32 bit version of Vista. I wanted to add a third monitor. I already had the laptop screen running at 1280 X 1024 and a second monitor running at 1600 X 1200. I installed the software, and rebooted as instructed. When the laptop tried to boot, it went to a blue screen of death. The menu for installing doesn't even show options for installing for Vista or XP, it shows you Windows version 4.5 or Window 4.6. How ridiculous. There is no uninstall option from the cd. Because I have to boot in Safe Mode, I am unable to remove the software. This is probably a limitation established by my network admin. That's why I'm irritated that the disc does not come with the uninstall option. I even tried to set the screen resolution to 800 X 600 (16 bit) in safe mode, and then reboot into Windows, hoping that it would be able to apply the settings. Then I could see if the issue was that I had one of my monitors running at 1600 X 1200 before installing the device. Still didn't work.
I have been using computers for 15 years and am not a novice. This is not a plug and play device in all situations. The word CARP comes to mind, but I'll try it on one of my XP machines at home.

Summary: Be mindful of the resolution
Comment: Product works flawlessly. Very pleased.
One thing to keep in mind is the resolution that you will want to set your secondary monitor up at (using this device).
This external card will only take your monitor resolution up to 1280 X 1024.
It probably mentions that somewhere in the description - but I failed to read it or even think about it.
If you have a 17 inch monitor this might not be such a big deal - but if you are trying to hook up a 19 inch monitor (or larger) you might find it anoying in a dual monitor setup if you prefer the smaller resolutions.
This is slightly annoying to me since I'm running a dual monitor set-up (2 identical 19 inch Dell monitors), and not utilizing the laptops native screen along with a monitor hooked up sitting next to the laptop while using the product.
The extra screen is still useful at the lower resolution and the products ease of use gets the job done for me, but others might find this unacceptable.
