• Just plug any DisplayMate on USB Edition into any Windows PC and it will launch automatically and generate DisplayMate's suite of test patterns and expert advice for computer or video monitor, projector and HDTV set up, adjustment, calibration, tune up, check up, test, and evaluation.

• These Special Editions of DisplayMate come on a tiny USB Drive and there is no installation. Extremely portable. These are new Editions of DisplayMate designed specifically for running from a portable USB Drive. They also have a new user interface.

• Nothing is copied or written to any drive on the host PC, so it's quick and easy to use and won't leave anything behind on the computers that you run it on. As a result they are perfect for using on client's or friend's PCs because they don't modify the Operating System, the File System, or the Window's Registry.

• Great for setting up digital HDTVs, Home Theaters, and computer monitors. HDTVs with digital DVI / HDMI inputs are now easy to connect to PCs, and DisplayMate is the best and most accurate way to set up and adjust them for optimum picture quality.

• DisplayMate automatically generates exact native mode test patterns for any resolution and any aspect ratio from 128x128 for mobile displays up through 4096x4096, which supports the highest resolution Digital Cinema projectors. See below for details on each Edition.

"DisplayMate on USB is the easiest version of DisplayMate that I've ever worked with. The USB Drive is a great convenience." Alfred Poor,   HDTV Resource Center

"A premier test suite for both home and professional use, DisplayMate has always been a superb and effective tool. The new DisplayMate USB version is even easier to use. The Multimedia on USB Edition is particularly useful for technicians evaluating a customer's PC or for IT departments that need to support a large number of PCs, with numerous innovative suites of proprietary DisplayMate test patterns." Highly Recommended Ron LaFon,   Cadalyst Magazine

"For over 15 years, I have relied on DisplayMate as a key part of the tests I have done on any display, as a brand owner and marketeer, as a reviewer and as an industry analyst. During this time, the product has always evolved to draw attention to new aspects of display performance. DisplayMate on USB makes it convenient as well!" Bob Raikes,   Publisher of Display Monitor Market Research Newsletters

"The new DisplayMate Multimedia on USB is the best version of DisplayMate yet. Everyone that I've shown it to has been very impressed with its simplicity and versatility. Plus I'm thrilled with the portability that it provides. It's a brilliant package and goes great with my notebook's HDMI capability, converting it into a video test pattern generator that is much more versatile than devices costing a lot more." G. Alan Brown,   President of CinemaQuest, Inc.

"I am duly impressed. Those who have come to rely on the various versions of DisplayMate for evaluating and setting up displays over the years will be delighted with the new USB versions. DisplayMate's claim to fame has always been its deceptive simplicity, with many of the test patterns cleverly designed to provide sensitive results using only the user's eyes for instrumentation. With the USB versions, things get even simpler. Plug in the DisplayMate USB drive and the program runs, generating test patterns for the exact pixel format of your display, be it monitor, projector, or TV. The software requires no installation or registration. It just runs, and it leaves no footprint on your computer when you remove it. To run it on another computer/display combination, just plug it in. That's the great thing about DisplayMate USB: It just works, while managing to conceal the sophisticated understandings of display operation and human perception on which it is based behind a simple and familiar interface."
Ken Werner,   Senior Analyst of Insight Media Display Industry News, Analysis and Publications

"DisplayMate has been part of Maximum PC's hardware-testing arsenal for years, and now that the entire series of display evaluation scripts comes on a handy USB key, we love the utility that much more. We're constantly rebuilding and reformatting our test beds, so it saves us time and hassle to be able to plug the DisplayMate USB key into any system--no installation required!"
Katherine Stevenson,   Deputy Editor of Maximum PC

Bill Machrone : Contributing Editor of PC Magazine
"I've plugged DisplayMate on USB into every computer in the house that has any kind of display adjustability. And now I have to say that we are a very well adjusted family! I also ran it on an Alienware notebook computer with DVI output and used a DVI-to-HDMI cable to examine my 50-inch Sony Bravia LCD microdisplay TV. I had used two different commercial setup packages (one terrible, one pretty good) previously, but was able to tweak a bit more performance out of it with DisplayMate. It still has the expected black compression, but I was able to lessen it a bit without compromising the overall black level or blowing out the whites. I'm actually impressed that the set did as well as it did, but DisplayMate confirmed that it's a solid performer at an affordable price. Thank you for the opportunity to test DisplayMate on USB. It brings video testing to a whole new level of convenience."

Bill O'Brien : Contributing Editor of Computer Shopper; Computerworld and CMP Media
"It works too well, or is that easy? DisplayMate on USB is a delicious mix of technology and simplicity that is easily a must-have tool for reviewers and IT managers. Not to downplay the quality of the tests provided (they are as comprehensive and revealing as always --and that is as expected, considering the source), but just the time savings alone in being able to plug and play (it works under Vista!!!!!) and not having to clean up afterwards is a dream come true when dealing with multiple displays if you just need to go from desk to desk. You could try to get this back from me but you'd have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands to do so."

Scott Mueller : Author of Upgrading and Repairing PCs, Laptops, Windows, and other books
"DisplayMate on USB is very impressive! This is something that all technicians, videophiles, and even game enthusiasts should have. The USB version is even more portable and easier to use than a CD, and I especially love the fact that you don't have to install anything, it just runs. The included tests automatically scale to practically any display mode and resolution, which makes it easy to adjust and tweak displays for optimum performance. It is especially useful for comparing and evaluating different displays as well."

Comments from other Reviewers:

It is the perfect tool for an engineer or tech, you can have it in your kit and try out any display and then walk away. This was a great idea."

"Very nice. I am surprised by how savvy the program is, where it knows everything about the setup and resolution and then generates all the files appropriately in such a nice manner."
