Product Purpose

The CoolGear USBG-HD15 is a USB 2.0 video adapter that adds an external SVGA output to Windows computers. It supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 x 32 bits and draws power directly from the USB bus. The device uses a Tiger+ 16MB chip to deliver cloned or extended desktop modes.

Who Should Buy

This adapter suits users who need a simple way to connect an extra VGA monitor, projector or plasma display for office work, home entertainment or video playback. It is not intended for buyers who want to play video games or run graphics-intensive applications. The hardware is limited to the USB 2.0 interface and the stated resolution ceiling.

Installation Notes

Setup is plug-and-play on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The adapter automatically detects the connected monitor type and resolution. Hot-swapping is supported without reconfiguration. No external power supply is required, but the USB 2.0 bandwidth restricts performance for demanding visual tasks.
