Nice adapter but warning for Mac users

Works with 2013 MacBook Air and Acer K272HUL monitor. In OS X, the monitor is treated like a TV by default, so the resolution is capped at 1920x1080, colors are washed out, and there's a lot of blowouts (which can be easily adjusted in the system preferences). Apparently this is a common Mac problem and has nothing to do with this adapter. There are workarounds for this, but they are a bit complicated for the average user. If you connect the same laptop with Ubuntu to the same monitor, the display runs at the correct resolution of 2560 x 1440 with no overscan and with perfect picture quality. In other words, if you think you're having problems with this adapter and your Mac, it's not the adapter.

Pros

Absolutely awesome!
