Corrupted my video drivers
This product had promise for adding a screen to my Lenovo T42 laptop. I installed it per instructions and when I hooked it up, only my laptop LCD display worked. There appears to be an incompatibility between this device and the ATI device drivers. After removing it, I could no longer use the video out on my docking station, “Could not load OEMDSPIF.DLL”. After much trial and error, I had to uninstall this software, uninstall the laptop ATI display drivers, then reinstall the ATI drivers, and you can imagine how many reboots and missteps that all took. It was hours before I was able to use my laptop again.
Clearly this product is not for me.
Update (5/18/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Does not support wide screen monitors
The unit supports resolutions not inconsistent with the standard 4:3 monitors. Do not have widescreen resolutions. No help from the company. Support open only during the business week. The drivers are updated, last 12/17/07. Nothing in the latest verson that can help. Save your money.

Great Solution if Internal VGA is not an Option
Works pretty much as advertised.
I’m using it to run a third monitor because my work computer was maxed out at two, and it has no room for expansion internally.
I’m running a 19″ LCD at 1280×24x32 bit color. It gets a little choked up with moving images, at least at the resolution I’m running, hence the four stars. I would definitely not use this for a primary display, but it works well enough for a secondary display.
And contrary to what others may post, it works with Vista (x64 included). The drivers are on IOGear’s website.
