Review on StarTech.com USB 3.0 to HDMI Adapter - 4K Ultra HD Converter - DisplayLink Certified - External Video & Graphics Card - Mac & Windows (USB32HD4K) by Sarah Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works good but runs HOT

I bought this to work with my M1 MacBook so I can use a second external display. It works great for that, but gets hot enough for that matter. This pushes a 24-inch Dell panel at 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz. I brought it back for Pluggable's Thunderbolt Dock, which has USB-C PD and DisplayLink and runs much cooler (on the outside, at least). To be clear I have used StarTech products before and have never had an issue and the heat they generate may not be an issue but for a long term solution I just don't like it.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Has problems
