A discount code for launch: the UGA-125
Posted on 27. Apr, 2010 by Bernie Thompson in Windows
We’re about to formally launch Plugable’s new UGA-125 USB 2.0 to VGA/DVI/HDMI Adapter for Multiple Monitors up to 1440×900 each
We’ve been able to get the UGA-125 down under the $50 price point with all the great service and free shipping benefits of Amazon.com. But for our fans who follow Plugable, we have an additional discount.
Enter claim code “LOVEPLUG” before checkout, and you’ll get an additional $5 off. But only during our launch window, from now until the end of April. And only selling in the USA for now, sorry.
And whether in the market for a new product or not, we’d like to send a big “thank you!” to all our loyal customers who take the time to follow what’s new at Plugable.
DisplayLink: Greener Multi-Monitor Solution
Posted on 22. Apr, 2010 by Bernie Thompson in Windows
This video shows two similar 2-monitor setups: the first using PCIe graphics, the other using Intel chipset graphics + a DisplayLink USB chip like the kind used in Plugable’s products.
The DisplayLink solution takes the power consumption from ~80W down to ~50W. Over time, and as you add more monitors, that’s a huge savings.

The Gadgeteer Reviews Our Plugable UGA-2K-A
Posted on 05. Apr, 2010 by Bernie Thompson in Windows
The Gadgeteer has been doing product reviews since 1997, and they just wrote a review of the Plugable UGA-2K-A.
A couple interesting things covered:
- The usefulness of multiple monitors – once you’ve used them, it’s hard to go back to the limits of one screen.
- They show using the DVI-to-HDMI adapter included with the UGA-2K-A, to add a 42″ LCD TV as a third laptop monitor. Nice!
And they summarize the review with this:
It does exactly what it claims it’s going to do. If I had to register any kind of complaint, I’d say that this could be considered a “gateway drug”…because if I can rock three monitors, what’s to stop me from six or eight?
Exactly what we think, too. Of course, by that analogy, we’re dealers …
One quick note: the review mentions our old pricing of $72.99. Fortunately, we’ve been able to increase our volumes and lower our prices as a result, so the UGA-2K-A is now $69.95. And because this technology is most exciting when it’s not just one but several extra monitors on a single PC — we’re also offering a temporary promotion of $10 off for every two you purchase. All the details are shown on Amazon.
If you don’t have extra monitors around, something like the Acer X203H bd 20-Inch LCD Monitor
