So since I have a laptop with a VGA output, I used to use a Sewell hammerhead until the port for the USB broke off. I use it for my Cintiq. It still works but unplugging it presented a problem with power because it would cause the laptop to boot. I found the piece inside the unit and I have it pressured against the ports so that it works still.

I purchased http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity®-Converter-Transmission-High-Quality-Processing/dp/B00EV6AARC as a replacement...and it doesn't work well. I see basically ghosting images instead of a clear picture. I tried numerous settings to try to get a clear image but it doesn't work for me.

So, I'm back to ordering another Sewell so I can get the signal I need. It's been rather annoying and I will probably do a laptop upgrade sometime even though that means I will probably have to go with Windows 8.

It has been storming the past few days which is good since I'm out in droughtland.

I also got a color meter for my devices. The results are decent, but it seems I need to adjust for more Black point compensation since it wants to make my blacks more grey. Other than that I am finally trying to fix the color shifting between various monitors and my Cintiq 13HD

I apologize if I'm boring. I just wanted to give an update...
