USB32HD4K

Easy video out for Ai server. Can't beleive I've never owned one of these. 4k usb video adapter works like a charm. Good build quality, looks clean, and I expected this thing to run brutally hot, but it hardly even gets warm. If your Windows Update is disabled, it probably won't plug and play. They do have drivers for all operating systems on the website. After quick, easy install, it really is plug and play. My GPUs are unmounted from Windows Host OS for Hypervm assignment, so no video out for Host machine. This StarTech DisplayLink saved the day, and beats the heck out of the server's on board AMI video over LAN (1080p, connectivity issues, etc, requires secondary PC). If anything, StarTech isn't charging enough for this little guy! [Psyche! ... its great but seriously guys... chill on the price, any more and I'd just buy a flippin VR headset...) Gamers beware - laggy, but perfectly good for general tasks, and great 4k video quality.

After reading all the mixed reviews, I was a little hesitant to buy it but am so glad I did. I have a 8 year old Dell XPS8400 with an intel I7 processor, a very nice rig in its day but stuck with PCI-@ 2 video cards. I hated to buy a new computer as this one is still perfectly good and super fast with an added SSD. But I needed to drive both a 30" dell 3400 X 2400 monitor and a new 4K monitor. No way the old video card was up to it, limited to 1900x 1200 dpi on the 4K monitor. So this was the only real choice it seems. Downloaded the drivers, installed with no issues and plugged in the 4K monitor and instant success. It is a flawless picture and even does HD videos pretty darn well, better than expected. The mouse is a bit laggy so have to move it more deliberately but nothing terrible. I did a before and after processor load test and on a dedicated USB3.0 plug, it definitely pulls about 10-15% more load then before; spiking up to about 35% with full video. But hardly overloading it unless you may be running several CPU programs at once. For just internet use it is perfect. But if you use it on a I3 or similar lower power processor, I can see how it may bog down more. On a well running I5 or I7 computer with minimal multiprocessing, it works like a champ. I can guess that reviewer having stuttering and other issues may be overloading the processor, which would definitely cause lots of issues. The adapter gets warm to the touch, so keeping it in a well ventilated area will certainly extend the life. Overall I am quite pleased with it and a good compromise until I have to upgrade my whole system.

OLD review: Pretty much unusable with a 2012 Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.5 and Seiki 40 inch 4k display. It manages to display at 4k, but often flickers or drops out for seconds at a time. REVISED review (2015.2.25): Still may be early to tell, but I've revised my rating to five stars since it looks stable after utilizing a different hdmi cable. I originally used the cable which came with the Seiki, but after switching to another cable I had on hand which is 4k rated with chokes at both ends, it works! Pros: it just worked. No OS X patch necessary, no SwitchX, etc.. Again, this is with OS X 10.8.5, which came with the Mini and is the latest pre-Mavericks OS X release. Cons: Firefox is unusable [revised again, see below]; its pages do not refresh, I have to move the whole app window in order to refresh the page in view after scrolling or clicking a link. I'm not going to take off a full star for that, as Safari, Xcode and other apps appear to work fine. I may have to revise this review down if other apps don't work properly, but for now it's five stars. As far as I know, these cons only apply to OS X 10.8.5 with DisplayLink firmware version 2.3. The product release notes claim that earlier OS X versions (10.6 and .7) are not supported at all and that later OS X versions (Mavericks, Yosemite) have limitations (e.g., "[they do] not correctly support virtual frame buffers"). REVISED review (2015.10.15): Still working, this time I'm using it with an old Windows 7 laptop, but I've again had troubles with screen blanking, even when using my "best" hdmi cable. I bought several, all were rated 4k, all had issues, until I bought a StarTech.com cable. StarTech.com HDPSMM1M Pro Series Metal High Speed HDMI Cable It's perfect! No red dots. Also, regarding the 2012 Mac Mini, I upgraded to Yosemite OS X 10.10 and the StarTech.com usb 3 4k adapter still works fine. It also works with that Mini running Windows 7 in bootcamp. This is not a fast adapter for 3D but I have no issues running Visio, Office, Matlab, etc.. ALSO, regarding Firefox on OS X, it works! I had to configure Firefox to use software rendering, as pointed out by StarTech.com support. Yes, StarTech.com actually provides technical support.

Den gör att du kan koppla in 2 bildskärmar till din dator. Denna kopplas till en USB-anslutning. Fungerar utmärkt. Det sitter ett grafikkort i dosan som gör det möjligt.

Bello

I have tried numerous HDMI adaptors to try and extend my laptop desk top to a third monitor. My 2012 MacBook Pro is certainly on its last legs, but there are too many "duds" out there that claim their HDMI adaptors work with Mac computers... try so many I became a non-believer. Alas! StarTech comes to the rescue with a quality unit which is super easy to install and worked immediately! Please note, this adaptor will not work on OSX software older than El Captain... luckily, that's what I upgraded old faithful to! All you need to do is plug in the adaptor, launch the Mac driver from the supplied installation CD, restart your Mac, then plug in the additional monitor and voila, you're all set. My setup consists of an ancient MacBook Pro running El Captain, one LG 32ML600 32" monitor connected via Thunderbolt to HDMI adaptor and now another LG 32ML600 32" monitor connected via StarTech's AMAZING USB to HDMI adaptor. For regular office use (which is what I bought this for), this does the trick! However, if you are streaming video or playing video games, this may not be the best solution. Picture-wise, the output is OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend this item to extend your desktop. It works with my fossil of a MacBook Pro, it will work for you too. It's worth the money... super happy with this purchase!

Mein privates und das Firmenlaptop unterstützen zwar USB Type c für Daten und Power Delivery, können jedoch kein Bild darüber übertragen. Um Monitor, Peripherie und Strom über denselben Anschluss mit nur einem Kabel abzudecken ist dieser Adapter perfekt. Eine Alternative zu der integrierten DisplayLink Grafikkarte existiert meines Wissens für diesen Anwendungsfall nicht.

I am using this for a few years now on Linux Ubuntu and Windows. Works like a charm. With Linux you need to install the driver properly after that plug and play. Really good product.
