This adapter works great. In my case I use it as part of a KVM switch with a USB/DVI combo cable. In order not to lay a second cable (DVI/HDMI), I bought this adapter. On my laptop, the HDMI and USB ports are too close together to connect. I suggest one of these as a USB install solution. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0142BEC88/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
