I've tried several adapter cables in the past and mostly thrown them away. This one was a winner in more ways than one. First, the required converter is supplied with power via the USB connection. Second, the sound and picture quality has greatly improved compared to the previous versions of the adapters I've tried. The only issue I've encountered is a slight aspect ratio change between the two formats. I use one cable to use one monitor with two different computers. Basically two different operating systems. This allows me to use two monitors for both systems without having to have FOUR screens on one monitor stand. So I have an edit for both word processing and "button-press" animations (two, to be exact). This is definitely something I would buy again if I needed a different adapter!
