USB to HDMI Adapter for Monitor Windows 11/10 / 8, HDMI USB Converter for Laptop Mac MacBook pro, USB 3.0 USB 2.0 HDMI Cable Multiple Monitors for Desktop PC TV, Black

I have an older Dell Latitude laptop with only 1 HDMI output and I didn't think I'd be able to run dual monitors....wrong! This adapter lets me connect a second monitor via USB and it works flawlessly. When you plug it in, you're prompted to install a driver (which passed a virus scan) and then the monitor worked immediately. I wish I had bought this sooner!Update: I had issues with it sporadically not working. To fix, I searched online for the driver name it's using per the item description - "MSDisplay_v1.0.0.18" and saw that there was an updated version available (v2.XX). I downloaded and installed it which has fixed the problem. Just a FYI in case it happens to somebody else.

This thing rendered my personal laptop inoperable. It made my screen flash and I couldn’t use the laptop, so I reinstalled Windows on it and it was fine for about two weeks. The screen started flashing again and this time I couldn’t reinstall Windows because it would not download past 64%. I thought the laptop had just run its course and borrowed a friend’s laptop. I used the adapter a few times and everything seemed fine.I used the adapter today to work from home on my company issued laptop and as soon as I opened the drive for the adapter, messages started popping up saying malicious software was detected and the program was terminated. After a couple of hours, I could no longer connect to the internet, despite having a strong connection. Then cybersecurity pings me on Teams and tells me my laptop has been disconnected from the network due to Trojan like behaviors running in the background and my laptop needed to be brought into the office to be reimaged. Once there, I was told the adapter should be plug and play without the need to install software and the fact that this one is not, is suspicious. It’s too late for me to return it, so I’m destroying it before putting it in the trash.

This allows me to hook to a usb. It works perfect. No I can watch tv on a big screen thanks to this hdmi to usb box.

Just got it and it works great. I had to install the driver first in order for my computer to pick up the second screen otherwise I would just get an alert that says USB detected what do you want to do with it. But once you click on the alert and then go into view files, you'll see the drivers for you to download. It was quick and easy, and the display looks amazing. I can't even tell the difference at all between my other display that is connected directly through the HDMI port on my laptop which was an issue for me because I thought there may be some difference like lag or delay but no it's perfectly fine. One thing I do have to mention is when the display first turned on it was on a different resolution scale, but it was a quick and easy fix just right click on the desktop and click display settings then choose your display and change it to the same resolution that you have your other displays on. Other than that, this is really good especially for the money. I bought an Anker USB-C to HDMI adapter first and it didn't work, I kept getting a message saying "Display connection might be limited" or something like that and I read online that maybe it's just the adapter and I should try another one, so I ordered this one and it worked perfectly.

If I restart my computer after installing the driver as instructed, it does not work, but if I install the driver then skip the restart prompt it does work. Not a dealbreaker, could very well be a Microsoft issue, but currently not quite plug-n-play

I have windows OS and the first thing that popped up was a malware warning. I located the adapter on my laptop to see why the flash drive was not opening automatically. When I manually went to open the drive I could not do so. The malware warning went away once the adapter was removed. Thank goodness I didn't update the drivers!! I'm sure I would have ended up with the malware package on my laptop. Horrible product that does not work as advertised. 0/5.

I run karaoke for a living and have done so for 28 years.In the laptop we use, the HDMI port is and or has gone out.Thus, video became an issue.In a scramble for time, I ordered a same-day delivery, tested it at home and used it at the show. Everything was great, but the storage in the adapter that has the driver went corrupt, and was no longer visible.In the instructions, it states that in Devices and Drives on your PC, that you will/should see a drive where the driver for the adapter is.Luckily, in the instructions, there was a 2nd way to download the driver on Github.com.Although, there was an unnecessary 2nd step in order to download it since a prompt stated the file was 'too big' to see. Which seemed odd…Anyway, I found the most up-to-date version of the driver which differed from the one that came with the adapter, installed it, and now it worked, but the next day had to install the driver again.I think windows defender is possibly removing it for some reason, and this is not uncommon for Defender to do.Since it has done this with legitimate programs with me in the past.If this happens to you, allow your antivirus and or whatever protection you use to allow the driver.Or possibly face similar issues as I did.While I got it to work, I hope this review helps others who may experience similar issues.

Just what I needed
