CONCLUSION

   Personally i was always in favor of owning a single large screen than several small ones and that will not change anytime soon since sitting (both for business and pleasure of course, when i get the time) in front of 30" screens is more than just enough for me, at least for now. Regardless of my personal preference however i was really impressed with the Multi-View & Sound adapter by HIS since it actually managed not only to stream heavy bitrate FullHD (1080p) media from both my primary X79 system and my Toshiba Qosmio notebook but it also held its ground when playing games. Of course it takes a few seconds for the DisplayLink software to keep up with the streaming content (and it does require a descent amount of RAM to do that) but once that's out of the way things are actually great. Granted i only had one of these devices here to test so i can't comment on how 6 of those will work when streaming heavy content (FullHD/Games) simultaneously but a strong system shouldn't experience any issues. Perhaps the single issue i can think regarding the Multi-View & Sound adapter is the very short USB 3.0 cable which is something i hope HIS resolves in the future.

   The HIS Multi-View & Sound adapter currently retails for USD89.99 (69.99 after mail-in rebate card) inside the USA (Newegg) and at 75Euros inside the EU a price tag which is not bad for a USB 3.0 external video adapter (although i guess it could be better). The only real question is if you really need something as good as the Multi-View & Sound adapter or if your needs can be covered with the less powerful Multi-View II adapter released over a year ago. Personal preference aside however the ability to stream FullHD content and play games via USB 3.0 is quite impressive and because of that the Multi-View & Sound adapter by HIS has earned our Golden award.
