If you don't want to go down the remote link (eg, VNC) route then there is another option. It's a little convoluted but bear with me.

You'll need:

A USB-DVI USB DisplayLink Adapter

and

A USB Switch

Install the DisplayLink adapter separately on each machine and set it to mirror the main display. Attach it to the switch and you should be good to go. You can add a small USB hub to the equation to allow you to switch keyboard, mouse and other peripherals with the same USB switch.

I was using a DisplayLink USB 2.0 display adapter -- it was horrendous. Now, the upper display is OmniMounted and connected via HDMI and the lower is Thunderbolt/Mini-Display to DVI and works better than I could have imagined. It's bliss.

$8.30 for a Mini-DisplayPort (a standard interface) to VGA adapter for the first monitor.
$64.50 for USB to VGA for the second.

Now shut the hell up.

u/Aserp · 2 pointsr/battlestations

You don't need Thunderbolt. I did it with my mid-2010 MBP. This really works with anything that has a DisplayPort... port. Linky

Of course, there's no hardware acceleration. (Yes, this requires you have displayport- I think it leverages your hardware to make the usb adapter function)

I'm not really qualified to comment as I've never used one. Have a look at Amazon. Be weary if you're doing Lion any time soon, drivers will take a while to catch up. But if you're content with staying on Snow Leopard / 10.6, something like this:

I have a USB to DVI adapter, This one to be exact. It has lag so watching videos doesn't work that well but, Twitter feeds and just scrolling through basic webpages works fine.

u/macournoyer · 1 pointr/macsetups

Mmm, will check it out. Was thinking of using this to connect to TV & 2nd display http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0038P1TP4.

Which model do you have?

u/effngee · 1 pointr/techsupport

This unit looks like it has better user reviews, and it will do DVI and HDMI with higher resolutions.

u/RevoS117 · 1 pointr/buildapc

Since your GPU has no more available ports, you can either buy a new card from AMD (which will support 3+ with one card, Nvidia does 2), or you can go with a USB Display Adapter. This will allow any computer to run an additional display, however it does not run off the GPU, but rather the CPU, so it can't run graphics intensive games. It works well for netflix, generic stuff.

Not sure if it does audio though.

u/FastRedPonyCar · 1 pointr/techsupport

This may be your easiest solution.

My wife and coworkers use them at her office hooked into their laptops to use 3 screens, all extended not cloned.

I've jury-rigged mine with an usb-HDMI monitor unit, that's powered off the USB. I just checked and it's more expensive now somehow.

u/kimolas · 0 pointsr/apple

You'll have to use a USB interface. They're not that cheap. Something like this.

> Back of a desktop has USB and 3.5 for many reasons,

What reasons? It's a standard, sure. But why else?

>not because usb isn't capable of being an audio standard.

Well, the DAC isn't connected to USB ports, and USB was made for digital signals, not analog. That of which headphones use.

>USB for audio is actually a superior audio platform

Ok, why?

The highest bitrate for audio I can find is 18Mb/s, and that's easily saturated, 10 times over, by USB 2.0. And that doesn't even matter, at the end of the day, your headphones need an analog signal. Cheap headphones will be cheap with or without USB-C. Nothing changes.

>there's a ton of well written articles about this.

  1. You link none of these.
  2. There's well written articles on why the earth is flat. Doesn't mean it's good.
  3. Well written != well researched, or true.
  4. You bring up none of the points.

    >but the idea here is moving forward in technology...

    Moving forwards for the sake of moving forwards is stupid. USB-C lacks a lot of features the 3.5mm jack has had for years.

  5. 90 degree bend on the plug.
  6. Rotation for stress relief.
  7. small compact style.
  8. Larger plug to allow internal resistance. My 3.5mm jack can hold my phone in the air.

    >This phone is bleeding edge and is meant to be...

    My motherboard is bleeding edge.

    1 USB-c port. 1 USB 3.1 gen 2 type A port, 8 USB 3.1 type A, 4 USB 2.0, and 5 3.5mm jacks.

    The USB-c port does not support audio. Go figure.

    >Their market are the people who will use this as an opportunity to purchase some USB type C headphones.

    Let me know when real headphone makers make USB-C headphones. Such as Sennheiser.

    Or when DAC makers make USB-c DACs.

    Or when something that isn't Apple, or a Phone, actually uses it.

    >It can handle power, data, audio, video, ethernet,

    Data, Video, and Ethernet are all digital signals.

    HDMI can do Power, Ethernet and Video.

    Displayport has a bandwidth of over 30Gb/s.

    Ethernet can do power, HDMI, and as a result, Audio, Video, etc.

    None of this is actually new. Ports have been doing this for years.

    Hell, USB 2.0 can do Power, Data, Audio, Video, etc. How? It doesn't actually do anything special.

    Audio

    Video

    Ethernet.

    The port doesn't do anything but transmit data. On a smartphone, which uses a System On a Chip, SoC, one processor is hooked up to everything, and does all the processing. For the Audio, Video, Data, etc. In a desktop, this is not the case.

    USB-C can only process what it's connected to. Connecting everything to a single port isn't easy, practical, or even smart.

    >It's a VERY fast port and can handle all of those in one.

    No, the USB 3.1 Gen 2 standard is fast. And even then it's only 10Gb/s. Half the people on /r/homelab have 10Gb/s fiber nodes. As I said before, DisplayPort is 3 times faster. Even DVI can do around 8Gb/s.

    Audio doesn't go over 20Mb/s at insane, lossless compression. Most music me and you listen to will be under 1Mb/s. FireWire has more than enough bandwidth.
