** IMPORTANT - the video shown above was a demonstration of what was technically possible at the time it was produced, however it is not a recommended or supported configuration by Plugable. To expand further, most modern Windows systems with built-in USB 3.0 host controllers have internal limitations in regard to how many USB devices can be properly recognized, even with the addition of USB hubs. Often adding a large number of USB devices to a modern USB 3.0 system will not work (this demonstration was done with a USB 2.0 only system). As a result, the maximum number of displays Plugable officially supports adding to a Windows system with our DisplayLink-based products is six. **

Original description:
--------------------------------
With Plugable USB Graphics adapters and the latest driver from DisplayLink (7.5 M1), it's now possible to connect 14 or more monitors to a single Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 PC.

Most users will only be using one or two additional monitors attached with USB graphics adapters. This is a new DisplayLink feature and is still in early testing. Users may see slow enumeration of attached adapters beyond the previous 6 adapter limit. Our 14 monitor setup took 15 minutes on each restart to bring all the monitors up, but was reasonably snappy after that.
