I need to get 10 moniters working. I can't find a specific limit in any documintaion. The only info I can find with respect to limits are bassed on processor speed. So under that assumption I bought a brand new duel core computer to run a demonstration thinking that 10 small 7" moniters would be no problem. As it's only about 4 million pixels.

Now I find this may not be the case at all and I can't make a single computer recognize more then 6 moniters. Do I have any options besides buying another computer to run the other 4?

Thanks,

Wim

Hi hal

All our software has always been set to allow up to 6 devices. This should be clear on our website, and it is in the release notes, under "Supported Hardware"

http://www.displaylink.com/filestore/release_note/DisplayLink-5.2.21675-release_notes.txt

We have found issues with system resources above 6 screens and we're not looking to increase this limit in the near future. Windows display properties only supports up to 10 displays.

Unfortunately the only solution today is to use 2 PCs to run 10 USB montiors.
