OWC releases a new Thunderbolt to Dual DisplayPort adapter for those looking to enjoy their Macs or PCs on big screens.
OWC has made some amazing drives and adapters in the past, so when I heard that they were putting out a new Thunderbolt to dual DisplayPort adapter, I knew that the quality and adaptability would be top-notch over anything I would get from cheap Amazon manufacturers.
Like many of you, I like getting my information on many screens and, if I can, adding an extra display to my workload. So with the Thunderbolt adapter, we can now take our Apple and even PC products and display them on multiple or just bigger and more detailed screens than those that came with the initial device.
This is where the OWC Thunderbolt to Dual DisplayPort Adapter comes into play. This simple little box allows the user to take a Thunderbolt signal out of the device and split it up into two display port devices. With a little adaptation, I was even able to use this with my VIZIO 4K TV. The image and performance were excellent in every modality I tried. There was no noticeable lag or artifacts in the picture with full dynamic colors. In all the adapter was very effective for the tasks on hand.
