>By far the biggest factor with the hub is whether it is USB 3.0 (or 3.1). If it isn't I'd highly recommend getting a 3.0 unit, it would have 10x the bandwidth. Also as I mentioned in the other e-mail to Craig, 3.0 is dual-bus so if you have one or more non-3.0 devices already plugged into the hub, other 3.0 devices can still run at full speed - which will be important for video.

Yes, it is 3.0.

>I suspect the USB adapters will appear to Windows to be additional display adapters, albeit ones attached via USB rather than, say, PCIe. In that case it's the same as having multiple conventional display adapters. Windows should have no problems using them in extended mode. You should get full capabilities such as setting 1, 2 and 3, orientation of individual monitors (landscape vs portrait), monitor arrangement (horizontal, stacked vertically etc.)

Very interesting, thanks
