USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter - DisplayLink Certified - 1080p (1920x1200) - USB Type-A to HDMI Display Adapter Converter for Monitor - External Video & Graphics Card - Windows/Mac (USB32HDPRO)

Works great for what I need.

I went through a few of these to try and extend a 3rd monitor from my HP laptop. None of the USB-C versions worked on it. Not even the expensive docking station for HP! So I tried this USB-A one and I just plugged it in and boom, screen on! Did not create any drag on my system nor any flickering which I have experienced with other laptops with screen extensions. Very satisfied!

You NEED the USB3 DisplayLink version for an external monitor display with no lags running at 1080p60fps. I had the older USB2 DisplayLink and it was so laggy, so with this upgrade, all that is gone. Don't wait, it's worth the money. My default setup was limited to 2 external monitors and the laptop screen. But I really wanted 3 external monitors and laptop display for a total of 4 displays and this new setup just works... on my Chromebook Acer Spin 713, no drivers/software to load, and no lag even with HD video. This is absolutely the best device ever. Also, since the DisplayLink functions as its own video card, you might be able to add even more monitors if you wish... but make sure you have a powerful laptop/computer to push out the graphics. I highly recommend this device for anyone wanting to add extra external monitors especially on Chromebooks.

First, before you buy, make sure that your current computer does not already support dual monitors. If you have a display port (DP) it might support dual monitor connections and all you have to do is get an adapter. Also, if you have both a VGA port and a DP port, your computer definitely supports dual monitors and you do not need to purchase this device. The same goes if you have a graphics card that has something like a VGA port and a DVI port. So check your computer first to determine that there is no other way to connect a second monitor before you buy this. You should know that this is a graphics card that connects on a USB port and capabilities are limited even compared to on-board graphics cards found embedded in a computer's mainboard. Over the past couple of years I purchased a few of these for work because our employees keep asking for a dual monitor setup. It works well for things like spreadsheets and documents but if you are looking for a second monitor to play games on, this will not be for you. Finally, note that this will work with Windows 10 but previous versions of this device from Star Tech that I purchased for Windows 7 do not work with Windows 10 and Star Tech does not offer drivers for them. Hopefully, this being USB 3.0 will be supported by future versions of operating systems and Star Tech will produce drivers for them. This is not a plug and play device so before you connect it to your USB port, make sure you download the latest drivers for it from startech.com and install them. Then plug it in.

I've tried this on 3 computers, two running Windows 10 and one running Windows 7. On each of these computers the initial install of the DisplayLink drivers and software completes successfully. No rebooting needed, the second screen works and all seems well. After rebooting it still seems fine, you are presented with the Windows login screen. Now when you sign-in, you are left with a black screen that just sits there indefinitely. You can't do anything except power off the computer and boot into safe mode to remove the DisplayLink drivers and software. All three computers I've tried this on exhibit the same behavior. Driver updates make no difference.

Works great

I just got this n today & will update this review IF something goes wrong. Opened the box & saw a installation cd & thought great, I don't haaaave a cd driver, but thought about going to the StarTech website to download the drivers. On the website, I looked up the model number & the drivers were right there. (They're r several to choose from but they're alllll labeled as to which one they're for. Windows 11 is the first one.) Downloaded the driver & then had to extract it. (It maaaaaay have just ran out but it recommended extracting them so I did.) After they extracted I clicked on it again & selected run. Hooked up the adapter AFTER all of that. (It MIGHT have worked just hooking it up but didn't want to take a chance. Installation is a pain n the butt IF u HAVE to do all this. It miiiiight b plug & play?, but I did it this way. U can try that if u want, i didn't want to try that.) The picture quality is BEAUTIFUL. Response time has NO lag, it's just like it is on the laptop screen. Overall I'm happy about it. Wish it was simpler plug & play. Wish it didn't cost soooo much but as much as I spent buying cheaper ones with 4.5 star reviews, (that crapped out AFTER Amazon's 30 day return window, (that's not right n my opinion, it should b 1 yr or at LEAST 3 to 6 months). Arrived faster then it originally said so I'm REAL happy about that. All I can say for now is I'm THRILLED about the product itself just not the PRICE.

I'm using this with a 2016 MacBook Air 13" with 8Gig RAM. It's working really well. Gives me an extra external monitor when at my desk, and is awesome. Lag is so minimal I don't even see it. Still wouldn't try to watch an HD movie through it, but extremely fast none-the-less. Pros: - Inexpensive - Light-weight (easy to take with me) - Simple - just requires an open USB 2 or 3 port (USB 3 is going to perform much better). Cons: - You have to find an download a piece of software ( a driver in for the Pref Pane in MacOS) to make it work. I wasn't aware of that, nor expecting it, so for the first little bit I thought it was defective.

Using this with my Macbook Air, I found that it worked perfectly out the box and I didn't even need to download the drivers. I'm only using a 1280x1024 external display - so not driving it too hard, but it works perfectly. My only criticism is it could usefully be smaller and less bulky.

Working fine. If you connect it on USB 3 device it will work on Windows, Linux, Ubuntu 17.10 (Download latest driver from displaylink website). USB 2, currently it working only on Windows. Very good device. I have 3 monitor and my NUC has only 2 video outputs, this will help me to connect 3rd monitor.

I was having a challenge getting three screens in expand mode with my lap top as the main source. This was plug and play! Amazing.

This product is now working with my MacBook Pro mid 2015 model and operating system Catalina 10.15. Download the latest driver, but had to tech support to help. They uninstalled it ad reinstalled it then do a hard reboot, not restart: then the MacBook Pro saw it. I am now running 3 monitors. 1 from mini D.C., 2 from thunderbolt/ Mini-dv, and 3rd from this device. Works fantastic. I also used a vga to hdmi converter to put it in the 3rd monitor. All is good as gold.
