USB to HDMI, USB 3.0 to HDMI HD 1080P Video Graphics Cable Converter for HDTV Audio Video Adapter for Windows XP/10/8.1/8/7 [ NO MAC & Vista ] (Silver)

This works as advertised! Simply plug it in, download the drivers, restart your computer and plug in your HDMI cord.

For anyone who is doing officer oriented work, or other computer tasks that don't require GPU intensive horsepower, this USB 3.0 to HDMI works really well.The creators and sellers of this device are very up front about its limitations. This isn't designed for use with gaming software. However, if your first display can handle gaming, just use that display while showing non-GPU intensive windows on the second monitor and on the laptop native monitor.I have this adapter attached downstream to a USB HUB in a Dell 2515 that is in turn attached to a Dell laptop. This setup enables a Dell laptop to run two (2) 2560x1440 displays, one with direct output HDMI and the other using this adapter, which is attached to the USB hub in the first Dell 2515 display.I have even tested this adapter by running a 1080p movie full screen on the second display. When doing so, it is noticeable that the "Windows Driver Foundation - user mode driver" (wudfhost.exe) subsystem is using about 15% CPU, but otherwise, the adapter is able to pump pixels from USB 3.0 to HDMI and into the monitor flawlessly.When performing basic computer tasks, the - Windows Driver Foundation - user mode driver" (wudfhost.exe) - appears in task manager using about 3% CPU, which seems excellent resource usage.With this device it is possible to rig up a laptop for "desktop" style usage with two 2560x1440 monitors, in addition to the laptop's own display. With the amazing nature of USB 3.0 it is also then possible to run a USB keyboard and mouse, along with numerous USB 3.0 hard drives, an external USB to gigabit ethernet adapt, and so on, all connected to the laptop. It is pretty astonishing that computer horsepower has reached this sort of threshold, where multiple displays, hard drivers, and other devices using USB 3.0 can run from a laptop while barely taxing the system's CPU or other resources.

Just fine

The price is great.But so far it often flicks to a black screen for a few seconds. It is connected thru a 5 Amp powered hub, so power should not be an issue. It isn't disconnecting completely, the applications on that screen properly reappear on that screen after it comes back from the momentary blackout. It even flickers on the powered Hub on a 2.1 Amp port.It is annoying.It is also very warm to the touch.I just switched it over to a direct USB 3.0 port on the computer.So far there is no flicker, but it will be one more thing to plug in when I use the system here, something I was trying to avoid by using a powered hub.

Computer didn't recognize the adapter when I plugged it in, however there's install software stored on the actual adapter (it has a mini drive). Installed the software, restarted computer, and it worked perfectly. Looked as good as my primary monitor.No complaints and very happy.PS... it works through my 3 port USB hub... so it does NOT have to be connected directly to the computer.

Do not buy this product if you don't have USB 3.0. The max resolution on USB 2.0 is 800x600.

This converter works well. I had another model from the same company that came with a short cable. That one was very sporadic in its connection. FYI, I went to return the other one and the company gave me an immediate full refund.

great product if you are just looking for a key accessory! useless otherwise
