Review on Adapter Syntech Thunderbolt Compatible MacBook by Russell Roberson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What a bargain!: DVI-HDMI Adapter

This adapter just works. I have purchased Moshi and Aukey in the past which also work BUT the cable is too stiff to be flexible. This is a problem for me because I only use it when traveling or when my daughter needs it in the car. I don't travel anymore after this pandemic, but we've done a few trips and used an adapter. I use a Pixel 4 XL or Pixel 3 XL to play baby videos when we're on a long drive, and other adapters have often halted video playback because a bump in the path to the phone or cable would break the connection. This Synctech worked very well. We recently rode the ride and in the 2 or so hours we used we had no issues with others stopping a few times in the same time of use on the same ride. So that in itself is great. The photos I've added are for illustrative purposes only, believe me I'm not shooting at a piece of paper with my pico projector! haha Actually this setup (at least part of it) is what I travel with but in the car I put the device in my pocket so it can't be seen and having a more reliable adapter is great it makes all the difference. It's easy to doubt the reliability of a product when it's so cheap. This syntech is only $13! The Moshi I tried was $50 and the Aukey was $20. Again, all three work, but in my case when using it in the car, Syntech is by far the best choice. I wish I knew this before spending the money on others or at least Moshi because the $50 price tag was too high, but since Google suggested it when I bought my phone I figured it would be reliable. So much for that theory. Hope that helps!
