Believe it or not, there are times when you stumble across something on your smartphone or tablet and wish you could see that content on a desktop monitor. I know, because it happens to me all the time.

How you can be using your Android smartphone or tablet as a desktop PC
First, you will need a USB OTG cable, to connect the USB DisplayLink dock cable (USB Type A) to the Android device. Then connect the other end to the DS3900V2. All USB 2.0 and 3.0 devices are supported. Keep in mind, if the device is USB bus powered, you may have to attach it to an externally powered USB hub first. Android devices might not be able to provide enough power. You’ll also need to download the Android Displaylink drivers from the Google play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.displaylink.desktop.
In conclusion, you can integrate your Android mobile device with your desktop duties without the actual use of a desktop PC. The DS3900V2 clearly becomes a great choice.
