3.0 out of 5 stars See2 Extreme Dont Buy, November 17, 2008

Tritton SEE2 Xtreme, USB to DVI or VGA External Video Card, 1920x1200 resolution

I purchased this device to "easily" connect another monitor to my PC. The second monitor had a VGA plug, but as the SEE2 Extreme came with an adapter plug I thought that there would be no problems???
I installed the software - a long process, which took several tries as it was not recognised, then the second monitor was not recognised. I uninstalled and re-installed a few times and still had problems.
I went to the Tritton website to find some help. This site wasnt the easiest to navigate, and no good advice to solve my issues. I did contact Tritton through the site but NO response.
Eventually I tried a download driver for another more basic model, the See2 USB SVGA adapter and with this I had better luck - at least it recognised the 2nd monitor. This was after a couple of installs and plugging the device in and out a few times.
I now have the second monitor working, BUT whenever the PC goes into "sleep" mode, or after a reboot, I have to reset the display settings again so that the second monitor is at the same resolution as the main monitor. Eventually got the monitor to work without altering displays, but later on it caused more problems with the entire display blacking out.

For a "device" that is almost $90 I would have expected it to work straight out of the box without all the installation difficulties that I had. To make matters worse no response from Tritton. The company needs to revise the software issues.
I would not recommend this product until it is easier to install. I am still waiting for a response from Tritton - not a good advertisement for their products.
After many more problems, wasted time in trying to uninstall, reinstall, trying to contact tech support- again with no response, and not getting the device to work I have finally given up. I am purchasing another device.
This is a waste of time and money

1.0 out of 5 stars Watch Out: possible paid/false reviews, March 9, 2009

a computer geek (CA, United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tritton SEE2 Xtreme, USB to DVI or VGA External Video Card, 1920x1200 resolution (Personal Computers)

When I read the reviews, I found most reviews are giving low score, but only two reviews give 5 stars, and these two reviews were written in two consecutive days. To further examine the reviews, I checked all other reviews written by the two reviewer. What I found? They only wrote reviews for Tritton products before.

William wrote 3 reviews only for Tritton, all are 5 star. Jen wrote 2 reviews only for Tritton, both are 5 star. Do you think this is just coincidence, or something very suspicious? Are they employee or friends of Tritton? Be aware!

This review is from: Tritton SEE2 Xtreme, USB to DVI or VGA External Video Card, 1920x1200 resolution (Personal Computers)

I've had this product for a few months running it on a fist gen Intel 17" mac book pro, and then a new 13" mac book pro. The drivers for this are VERY dodgy and will freeze the monitor very frequently (as an aside, if spaces are enabled switch to a different one and back and it did unfreeze), I found their tech support to be VERY poor and most important, no snow leopard support. I have been consistently disappointed with this product and will replace it.
