Dual UbiSync7 (Samsung)

[LimboMan]

Has there been a resolution to the problem where only one UbiSync7 devices can work at a time (something to do with identical serial numbers?).
I have two of these displays which came with my two SyncMaster 2263DXs but only one will work.

I had heard there may have been a way to have one of the two modified to show a different serial so that the OS can drive both at the same time.

Anybody else with these displays?
Thanks!

This is correct. Samsung programmed them all with the same serial number so only one will work at a time.

Changing the serial number can only be done on the production line by Samsung and not by an end user, so there is no way of fixing this I'm afraid.

I know there are others who are far smarter than I. Are there any known workarounds? Pardon my ignorance, but I'm wondering how virtual machines handle hardware/device management -- would there be a way that I can run the other monitor in a separate session within the same OS (Win 8 in my case) thus not being left with a 7" paperweight?

Thanks!
