PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
DisplayLink USB virtual graphics technology has enabled Diamond Multimedia`s
BVUMD3 USB HD Display Adapter Plus to provide plug-and-play capabilities for
additional displays to laptop or desktop computers, while providing additional
USB ports for peripheral connectivity and giving a new twist to the traditional
universal docking station. 

Using DisplayLink`s USB virtual graphics chip, the DL-165, Diamond`s BVUMD3 USB
HD Display Adapter Plus packs a lot into a small 4.0 x 2.6 x .8 inch device. It
supports DVI or VGA interfaces, offering high quality digital imaging up to 1600
x 1200 and 1920 x 1080 (wide) 32-bit True Color resolutions and allows users to
mirror or extend the display in any direction. The BVUMD3 can determine the
type, resolutions and key features of any display, ensuring a fast and error
free setup. Furthermore, it is fully integrated into the Windows operating
system and is managed by the Windows Control Panel interface. 

"DisplayLink`s DL-165 USB virtual graphics chip has enabled us to offer our
customers a means to connect multiple monitors to a single device, along with
many other multimedia capabilities," says Louis Kokenis, the Product Engineering
Manager for Diamond Multimedia. "The BVUMD3 also uses 80% less power than a
discrete solution." 

In addition to the USB graphics adapter, the BVUMD3 provides three DisplayLink
USB virtual graphics powered USB 2.0 high speed ports that can be used as a mini
universal USB docking station for netbooks, notebooks and Macbook peripherals. 

"Diamond`s USB HD Display Adapter Plus is another example of USB universal
docking stations gaining momentum in the market and how they have unlimited
potential to enhance the notebook/netbook computing experience," says Dennis
Crespo, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development for
DisplayLink. "The USB HD Display Adapter Plus offers big productivity and
organizational benefits in a small package." 

Diamond`s BVUMD3 USB HD Display Adapter Plus is available now for $75 from
Diamond`s online partners, including Amazon.com, Buy.com, CircuitCity.com,
CompUSA.com, NewEgg.com, TigerDirect.com and retail outlets such as Fry`s and
Micro Center.
