Review: Works, with minor bugs - I'm using a MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012) running OSX 10.10 Yosemite, which only has one thunderbolt port for video out. I write code professionally, and wanted to have 2 monitors and my laptop screen to do so. I don't need it to be low-lag, or have super high framerates, but I do need high resolution so I can display lots of text. This adapter does that (at 1920x1080 at 60 FPS as claimed), but not perfectly. Firstly, you have to download/install drivers from their site, plugging in the adapter without them does nothing. This isn't a problem for someone like me, but may confuse new users, especially people who are used to Macs, since most Mac hardware is plug-and-play with no custom driver installs. On the plus side, the drivers were updated last week, which means they're being actively worked on, so the bugs I'm about to mention may be resolved later on with new drivers. On to the bugs: If you want to do triple-monitors on a Macbook Air, you'll need to plug in this adapter AFTER you plug in the thunderbolt adapter, or the drivers freak out, use 100% CPU, and your framerate becomes terrible with visible tearing and artifacting. Fortunately, when waking up from sleep this doesn't become an issue, and it takes 2 seconds to unplug/replug if you do it wrong. Other than that, by far the biggest bug is that Mission Control (which I use constantly to switch windows) does not get along with the adapter. When it's plugged in, Mission Control causes the screen to freeze for 3-5 seconds before showing you the overview, though this can be significantly cut down if you run defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0 in a terminal. This removes the animation at the start and end of Mission Control, though, which makes finding windows slightly harder, but makes mission control launch in a sane amount of time. Also, if you want to use the adapter-connected monitor as your main monitor, the menubar loses transparency and can lose all its text, though it is still functional. Additionally, some applications (specifically Intellij Idea) don't like it when you use the adapter-connected monitor as your main, though they will run fine and display fine on that monitor if it's set up as a secondary. There is also the minor issue of antialiasing not working in Mission Control, meaning text looks weird in the overview. Also, 10.10's new transparency stuff is glitchy and causes some weird colorations and small black/white squares sometimes, but you can disable it to remove this effect. [EDIT:] I have discovered that disabling transparency significantly improves performance of apps on the connected monitor. The setting is under System Preferences->Accessibility->Display->Reduce Transparency. Lastly, though it does claim to be 60FPS (and looks like it actually is) there is a slight lag (maybe 3 or 4 frames) on the picture. For work, this is not an issue, but if you're wanting to use it for gaming (especially with a single game spanning two monitors), it would be very noticeable and problematic. The adapter gets warm while in use, which leads me to believe that there's some sort of processing going on, which is probably causing the lag, so this may not be something the driver updates could fix.
Review: Plug and play, works without special drivers, smooth for workstation activity on Win10 PC - Plug and play, works, immediately was able to add another monitor to my windows PC. No drivers needed to download or anything. I just plugged it in and Windows 10 was able to see it as a USB to HDMI and installed it. A few minutes later it was working as a monitor and behaved as expected. Refresh capability is good, it's smooth to use for typical workstation activity and video is fine. I'm not sure it's something you would assume you could play games on, but it's plenty good for typical workstation PC use. I use it for real time graphing of audio RTA and its great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this adapter allow me to stream TV/Movies on my PC/Mac and watch them in High Definition on my HDTV?  Both laptops only have USB, no HDMI outputs**
A: yes, that's why I got it too. Works well.  Not sure what dpi it is sending but clear enough for my family.

**Q: i need to connect my laptop to my tv to watch netflix on tv, will this do that**
A: Hi Katherine. my name is Denis and I ordered one of these myself about 2 years ago so I could use my 46' plasma as my monitor to watch Netflix etc. This particular model didn't work well for me. I was impossible to stream hd content because the unit wasn't able to keep up with the speed. I already had owned one that worked (and is still working now)made by a company called Atlona. I paid only $59 for it at the time. This Atlona unit plugs into your vga output and uses a headphone size jack to carry sound to the unit that is powered by usb. These are much more expensive now and do come in a style like the one you're looking at. That uses usb to grab power, video, and sound. the unit your are questioning didn't work well for me, but that was 2 years ago... I cant say that the tech hasn't caught up to the speed. I just know that at the time, it didn't work for me using it the same way you want to. I would check around at different manufacturers and look at the buyer feedback section closely. most people buy these units to extend a desktop by adding a screen... This is a very different application.  Good luck!!

**Q: I just bought a hdmi cable, come to find out i don't have a hdmi port on my pc, will this work?**
A: If you have a Display Port or Mini Display Port, I would suggest using an adapter cable for that before using something like this USB Adapter as the DP port will produce a much cleaner signal and DP was designed to be able to carry HDMI signaling via basic cable adapters.

**Q: When will this adapter be updated for mac sierra? how can i be notified?**
A: Yes it does

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works, with minor bugs
*by S***E on January 22, 2015*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Device Failed after 5-months of purchase - Update: Warranty Replacement
*by C***. on October 1, 2015*

The device functioned adequately for the five months that I own it—until it simple died. It all occurred after upgrading to the new 2.5 driver and my system failed to recognized the device. So, I downgraded to the prior version and system would still not recognize it, or connect to the device. I updated my OS and it still wouldn't work. It now overheats whenever I connect it to my computer and it just doesn't work. I am debating whether or not it would be worth the hassle of contacting the manufacturer. For, I believe the first thing they would suggest would be to upgrade the driver. LOL. And the developer of the driver (note that Cable Matters and the driver developer are separate entities) would refer me to the hardware manufacturer. The device would work as an additional monitor on my computer system. I would have no other problems with it other than the very small lag which wasn't a huge problem and some applications not displaying properly but it wasn't a big problem. The device was able to play videos and dvd's smoothly enough. It appears that the hardware is not up to par. Update: I contacted Cable Matters and I was very pleased to see an immediate response and was told that since my device was under the 1-year warranty they would promptly send me a replacement after I shipped my bad adapter. I was very satisfied with their customer responsiveness and tech support as well. I am currently using the replacement adapter from Cable Matters, and thus far it works very well. Perhaps, the original adapter I got was simply a bad unit which understandably happens. The new device they sent me has been working very well for the last couple of days. I have no complains about how its working. However, given that the original failed after 5-months of usage, I will have to write another updated review later on, perhaps after using the device for 5 or 6-months.
