Question: I recently upgraded to Mac OS X Lion, and now my adapter doesn't work?
Answer: The issue can be fixed by downloading the updated drivers located here: http://displaylink.org/forum/attachment.php?s=39d4301e651e82636b1b6bb8cee53adc&attachmentid=379&d=1309354291
Pros: Worked perfectly, easy to use, reliable for every-day office tasks. Has adaptors for all types of video monitors, making it very flexible.
Cons: A little bulky, but I just hide it behind the monitor
I have a 2013 Macbook Air that I wanted to set up with 2 external monitors at work. I purchased an ElGato Thunderbolt dock. Into that I have a MiniDisplay-DVI converter for monitor 1 and off of the ElGato dock, this USB-VGA converter for monitor 2. They work perfectly! Occasionally my applications bar gets moved to the wrong screen and stuck, but I just unplug and replug in the ElGato dock and everything resets. I'm very happy with this product over the last 2 weeks. I hope it continues to work well for much longer!

Great way to get cheap dual (external) monitors off a MacbookPro
Pros: being USB I really did not expect much, but I've been constantly surprised and pleased by what this thing is capable of.
* It will easily drive a full HD resolution display, even rotated to Portrait mode
* Have played you-tube videos, and done google-hangouts on the display powered off this adaptor without any obvious lagging, shearing, or stuttering.
* With latest drivers downloaded easily supports Mountain Lion OS on a mac. (and I see a driver for Mavericks, although I have yet to test that (waiting for corp IT 'ok')
* works well hung off back of a Mac Thunderbolt display, plugged into the built in USB ports
* works via a powered USB Hub, plugged into USB port on the macbook pro
* great way to make use of a older display as a third display in addition to an apple Thunderbolt display, or a standard display running on the tbolt port using a mini display-port - DVI adaptor
Cons: * They need to better document the 'trick' of holding down a key (I think it was control) to enable the rotation control on a Mac, so your can have display in orientation other than Landscape orientation.
* doubt it would be fast enough to satisfy a gamer, but great for typical 'office' and browsing use
* (not really a con against this product) when running off the mac thunderbolt display, it will sometimes not properly initialize it's USB ports and everything plugged into them fails to work, including this adaptor, this requires me to unplug and replug the tbolt plug from/to the macbook pro once or twice and then things start working again.. yeah quality apple hardware)
My work supplied me with a nice Macbook pro, and I work at home part of the time, where I wanted to setup a pair of external monitors. Supporting one is easy via a tbolt/mini-dp to dvi adaptor, but supporting a second monitor is not supported that way unless you get the fancy and pricy apple Thunderbolt displays. Given I had a pair of perfectly good monitors at home, going the official apple route was a non starter for me. But I found this and figured how wrong could I go for $50? the answer was not at all. It's been working great. Even had the (disbelieving) IT guys order one for work so I could make use of a spare 24" dell monitor we had laying around. Then one of the other guys who does not like the glare of the apple monitors replaced Thunderbolt monitor with a pair of 24" monitors, one of which also runs off one of these adaptors. So, so far three for three, working great, no problems. a fantastic way to support a second external monitor hooked to a laptop, mac or windows

I got this because I wanted to add another monitor to my 2010 MacBook Pro. If you're on Mavericks (10.9), you may want to hold off on this for awhile. It is very laggy, even when you're just browsing or moving your pointer around. DisplayLink seems to be on top of the issue, so it should be fixed soon.

Even supports Portrait mode!
Pros: Works well with a Macbook Pro, have used both Lion and Mountain Lion OS's supports rotated ("portrait") mode, great way to have a 'tall' monitor for mail and web fast enough to play video, (barely) which given it's usb2 is pretty astounding Far cheaper alternative to 2nd external monitor (compared to thunderbolt) Works well even when connected to a decent quality powered USB2 hub very reasonable price, especially compared to a new monitor
Cons: high CPU load for rapidly updating content like video (to be expected given it's USB)
I got one of these for a home office setup where I wanted to have two external monitors plus the native screen off a macbook pro. Allowed me to use existing monitors without having to purchase uber-pricy mac Thunderbolt solution.
My setup is a 24" monitor off a monoprice displayport-dvi adaptor, and an older 20" dell ultrasharp widescreen, running rotated at 1050x1680 resolution off this adaptor, which is running through a powered USB2 hub along with external mouse and keyboard. I've had this setup for over a year and been very pleased with it. I mostly use the second monitor for reading mail and web-pages and other 'tall' oriented content. while it will do video, I mostly use the main monitor for that.
Given that it's USB2, and that I have it through a hub, with the display rotated, I was frankly amazed that it would play video at all, much less do so fairly smoothly. Mostly I credit that to getting something that has higher resolution capability than what I'm using, so that it has some spare bandwidth. If I was trying to do video at max resolution, I expect the performance might suffer a bit
