Reviews
“As much as I love this product, I still think it’s a bit pricey for it’s utility. I think a 1 point deduction is in order. Other than price, viewing angle and your opinion about its need for two USB ports, I really think this device is useful. It can constantly display information you’d normally have to minimize windows or call up the Dashboard to view. And that’s why I think it’s extremely useful, just a tad pricey.” (AppleTell, 2009)
“I am pleased with this monitor and think that it is a great device for gamers. It takes advantage of DisplayLink technology giving it the ability to run from a single USB port. The USB plug has a secondary plug that can be used, if necessary, for older or diluted USB ports, which are pushing less power.” (JohnPeddie, 2009)
“The DoubleSight has many excellent features like perfect picture quality, dual mounting options and it even comes with a screen cover so you can take it with you. It’s easy to use and install as well.
If you’re like me and just need a little extra space, then I’ can recommended this monitor to you, it’s very much worth the cost really for how useful it can be.” (TestFreaks, 2009)
