[clug] Recommendations for USB-HDMI peripheral

[Tony Lewis]

I've splurged on a 32" 2K ViewSonic monitor, but I'm annoyed that with 
one laptop (Dell gaming Inspiron with a GTX 960M), it won't drive the 
display at anything above 1920x1080.  Funnily enough, an older Dell 
laptop with an Intel integrated GPU drives it at 2K just fine.

So I'm looking for recommendations for a USB-HDMI device that will give 
me my 2K loveliness, and work well with Xubuntu.

My main contender is the USB3-6950-HDMI from Plugable ( 
https://plugable.com/products/usb3-6950-hdmi/ ), but it's not officially 
supported on Linux.

1. Any info on whether this will work with Linux?

2. Any other recommendations?  I really only need one HDMI connection, 
and it's not for gaming, so the plugable unit is a bit overspecced.

Thanks!

Tony
