Introduction
The USB 3.0 to 4K DisplayPort Adapter is a device
which enables connection to 4K Ultra HD display
device to a computer using USB 3.0 port. It will make
your legacy PC with old graphics card to support 4K
resolution easily. Besides, with this convenient design,
it can connect up to 6 display devices to a computer
without installing extra video cards. Once the driver has
been installed, the USB-attached monitor will be
enabled immediately without any rebooting process of
operating system after plugging the USB adapter.
System performance is an important issue when using
multiple monitors. Another benefit of this adapter is that
it occupies little computer resource; ensuring users get
quality display without comprising computer
performance.
